The Outback Bowl pits Michigan State Spartans from the Big 10 conference against the Georgia Bulldogs from the Southeastern conference. Both teams are the conference championship runners-up.
This season the Michigan State Spartans are 10-3 and the NCAA FBS production model's measure of their strength of schedule (SOS) was equal to 64.85. Michigan State's best win was against currently ranked #5 Wisconsin, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #58 Notre Dame. To date, the Spartans are the #15 ranked team overall, with the #28 ranked offense and the #17 ranked defense.
The Georgia Bullogs are 10-3 with a strength of schedule equal to 56.77. Georgia's best win was against currently ranked #11 Georgia Tech, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #7 South Carolina. To date, the Bulldogs are the #28 ranked team overall, with the #58 ranked offense and the #8 ranked defense. Note: Georgia has three losses (#3 LSU, #6 Boise State and #7 South Carolina - wow!)
The NCAA FBS production model ranks Michigan State better than Georgia, and hence expect Michigan State to win the Outback Bowl today.
