On Saturday the Playstation Fiesta Bowl pits the Penn State Nittany Lions from the Big 10 Conference against
the Washington Huskies from the Pacific 12 Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Playstation Fiesta 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 a slight edge to the Washington Huskies. Below is a look at each of these two football programs during the 2017 regular season.
Penn State Nittany Lions
The Nittany Lions finished the regular season at 10-2, while playing against an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Penn State's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. For this season the Nittany Lions'
best victory was
over #40
ranked Northwestern by a score of (31-7). The Nittany Lions' worst
loss
was
to #52
ranked Michigan State by a score of
(24-27). Penn State has the #4 ranked
team in total production with the #11
ranked offense and the #6 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
Washington Huskies
The Huskies finished the regular season at 10-2, and played against
an "average" strength
of schedule (SOS) as compared to the "league" average SOS, meaning
that Washington's SOS was plus or minus one standard deviation of the
"league's" average SOS. This season the Huskies' best victory was
over
#28 ranked Fresno State by a score of (48-16), and Washington's
worst loss was to
#78 ranked Arizona State by a
score of
(7-13). Washington has the #3 ranked
team in total production with the #26
ranked offense and the #1 ranked defense from the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
