On Monday the Rose Bowl (national championship semi-final #1) pits the Georgia Bulldog from the Southeastern Conference against
the Oklahoma Sooners from the Big 12 Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Rose 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 Oklahoma Sooners. Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
Georgia Bulldogs
The Bulldogs finished the regular season at 11-1, and defeated #11
ranked Auburn (28-7) in the Southeastern conference championship game to
be currently 12-1 overall, while playing against an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Georgia's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. For this season the Bulldogs'
best victory was
over #20
ranked Appalachian State by a score of (31-10). The Bulldogs' only
loss
was
to #11
ranked Auburn (during the regular season) by a score of
(17-40). Georgia has the #9 ranked
team in total production with the #20
ranked offense and the #4 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
Oklahoma Sooners
The Sooners finished the regular season at 11-1, then defeated #14
ranked TCU in the Big 12 conference championship game by a score of
(41-17) to be 12-1 currently. The Sooners played against
an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Oklahoma's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. This season the Sooners' best victory was
over
#2 ranked Ohio State by a score of (31-16). Oklahoma's only loss was to
#35 ranked Iowa State by a
score of
(31-38). Oklahoma has the #5 ranked
team in total production with the #1
ranked offense and the #79 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
