On Friday the Hyundai Sun Bowl pits the Arizona State Sun Devils from the Pacific 12 Conference against
the North Carolina State Wolfpack from the Atlantic Coast Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Hyundai Sun
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 North Carolina State Wolfpack. Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
Arizona State Sun Devils
The Sun Devils finished the regular season at 6-6, while played against
a "tougher" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Arizona State's SOS was between one and two standard deviations lower than the
"league's" average SOS. For this season the Sun Devils'
best victory was
over #3
ranked Washington by a score of (13-7). The Sun Devils' worst
loss
was
to #98
ranked UCLA by a score of
(37-44). Arizona State has the #78 ranked
team in total production with the #48
ranked offense and the #94 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
North Carolina State Wolfpack
The Wolfpack finished the regular season at 8-4 while played against
an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that North Carolina State's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. This season the Wolfpack's best victory was
over
#10 ranked Louisville by a score of (39-25). North Carolina State's
