2012 Compass Bowl

In today's Compass Bowl we have the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs facing the Pittsburgh Panthers of the Big East conference.

This season the SMU Mustangs are 7-5 and the NCAA FBS production model's measure of their strength of schedule (SOS) was equal to 62.33. SMU's best win was against currently ranked #12 TCU, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #49 Navy. To date, the Mustangs are the #60 ranked team overall, with the #72 ranked offense and the #43 ranked defense.

The Pittsburgh Panthers are 6-6 with a strength of schedule equal to 61.42. Pittsburgh's best win was against currently ranked #47 South Florida, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #69 Rutgers. To date, the Panthers are the #83 ranked team overall, with the #110 ranked offense and the #40 ranked defense.

The NCAA FBS production model ranks SMU better than Pitt, and hence expect SMU to win the Compass Bowl today.
