On Monday the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl pits the Auburn Tigers from the Southeastern Conference against
the Central Florida Knights from the American Athletic Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Chic-fil-A Peach 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 Central Florida Knights. Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
Auburn Tigers
The Tigers finished the regular season at 10-2, and was defeated by #9
ranked Georgia (7-28) in the Southeastern conference championship game to
be currently 10-3 overall, while played against a "tougher" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Auburn's SOS was between one and two standard deviations lower than the
"league's" average SOS. For this season the Tigers'
best victory was
over #9
ranked Georgia (during the regular season) by a score of (40-17). The Tigers' worst
loss
was
to #17
ranked LSU by a score of
(23-27). Auburn has the #11 ranked
team in total production with the #17
ranked offense and the #14 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
Central Florida Knights
The Knights finished the regular season at 11-0, then defeated #16
ranked Memphis in the American Athletic conference championship game by a score of
(62-55) to be 12-0 currently. The Knights played against
an "easier" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Central Florida's SOS was between one and two standard deviations higher than the
"league's" average SOS. This season the Knights' best victory was
over
#16 ranked Memphis during the regular season by a score of (40-13). Central Florida has the #6 ranked
team in total production with the #3
ranked offense and the #56 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
