On Friday the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl pits the Kentucky Wildcats from the Southeastern Conference against
the Northwestern Wildcats from the Big 10 Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Franklin American Mortgage Music City 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 Northwestern Wildcats. Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
