On Wednesday the Academy Sports & Outdoor TexasBowl pits the Missouri Tigers from the Southeastern Conference against
the Texas Longhorns from the Big 12 Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Academy Sports & Outdoor Texas
Bowl based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model. The model uses data provided at www.cfbstats.com.
Prediction
Given the overall productivity of the two programs, the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model gives the edge to the Missouri Tigers. Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
Missouri Tigers
The Tigers finished the regular season at 7-5, while playing against
an "easier" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Missouri's SOS was between one and two standard deviations higher
than the
"league's" average SOS. For this season the Tigers'
best victory was
over #90
ranked Idaho by a score of (68-21); yes, their best victory was over a
team currently ranked in the bottom third of the FBS. The Tigers' worst
loss
was
to #100
ranked Kentucky by a score of
(34-40). Missouri has the #32 ranked
team in total production with the #9
ranked offense and the #92 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
Texas Longhorns
The Longhorns finished the regular season at 6-6 while played against
an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Texas' SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. This season the Longhorns' best victory was
over
#35 ranked Iowa State by a score of (17-7). Texas'
worst loss was to
#105 ranked Maryland by a
score of
(41-51). Texas has the #54 ranked
