The Cotton Bowl has the Oklahoma Sooners of the Big 12 Conference against the Texas A&M Aggies of the SEC. Here is how each team stacks up using the NCAA FBS Production Model.
Oklahoma is currently 10-2 playing an average strength of schedule. Oklahoma's best victory of the season was against currently ranked #43 TCU. Both of the Sooner's losses were to currently ranked top 20 teams in the NCAA FBS Production model (#5 Notre Dame and #16 Kansas State). Oklahoma is currently the #26 most productive team in the nation with the #19 most productive offense and the #42 most productive defense.
Texas A&M is also 10-2 and has also played an average strength of schedule. Texas A&M's best win was against currently ranked #1 Alabama and their two losses were to teams ranked in the top 20 (#9 Florida and #14 LSU). Texas A&M is currently the #13 most productive team in the FBS with the #6 most productive offense and the #43 most productive defense.
Given that Texas A&M is more productive than Oklahoma, the model "predicts" that Texas A&M will win tonight's Cotton Bowl.
