On Friday the Belk Bowl pits the Texas A&M Aggies from the Southeastern Conference against
the Wake Forest Demon Deacons from the Atlantic Coast Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Belk
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 Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
Texas A&M Aggies
The Aggies 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 A&M's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. For this season the Aggies'
best victory was
over #64
ranked South Carolina by a score of (24-17). The Aggies' worst
loss
was
to #96

(43-50). Texas A&M has the #70 ranked
team in total production with the #49

Wake Forest Demon Deacons
The Demon Deacons finished the regular season at 7-5 while played against
an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Wake Forest's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. This season the Demon Deacons' best victory was

#10 ranked Louisville by a score of (42-32). Wake Forest's
