Thursday evening the Bad Boy Mower Gasparilla Bowl
takes place in which the Florida International Golden Panthers from Conference USA
play the Temple Owls from the American Athletic
Conference! So here is my analysis of the Bad Boy Mower Gasparilla 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 a tiny edge to the Temple Owls, but really this game is a toss-up Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
Florida International Golden Panthers
The Golden Panthers finished the regular season at 8-4 and played against
an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Florida International's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. This season the Golden Panthers' best victory was
over
#34 ranked UTSA by a score of (14-7) and their worst loss was to #110 ranked Old Dominion by a
score of
(30-37). Florida International has the #89 ranked
team in total production with the #83
ranked offense and the #78 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
Temple Owls
The Owls finished the regular season at 6-6 while playing against
an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS. For this season the Owls' best victory was over #45
ranked Massachusetts by a score of (29-21). Temple's worst loss was to #117
