Today's Independence Bowl pits the University of Missouri Tigers - currently of the Big 12 Conference - against the University of North Carolina Tar Heels of the ACC, in what judging from the model should be an excellent game today.
This season the Missouri Tigers are 7-5 and the NCAA FBS production model's measure of their strength of schedule (SOS) was equal to 62.42. Missouri 's best win was against currently ranked #43 Texas A&M, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #64 Arizona State. To date, the Tigers are the #22 ranked team overall, with the #29 ranked offense and the #26 ranked defense.
The University of North Carolina Tar Heels are 7-5 with a strength of schedule equal to 63.33. North Carolina's best win was against currently ranked #55 Virginia, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #68 Clemson. To date, the Tar Heels are the #18 ranked team overall, with the #25 ranked offense and the #24 ranked defense.
The NCAA FBS production model ranks North Carolina slightly better than Missouri, and hence expect North Carolina to win the Independence Bowl today.
