Gathering his class of students, which included several UTC football players, McLean and the class conducted his analysis on one of the most anticipated games of the season, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Student chose to play the game as either Georgia or Alabama. They turned the Maytag Conference Room in the EMCS building into a makeshift dorm room complete with flat screen TVs, several XBoxes, snacks, and drinks.<\/p>\n<p>Though their statistical analysis pegged Georgia as the victor, the students had an eerily similar score up to the final quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany interesting similarities happened between the game and our simulation. \u00a0We had Georgia scoring 27 points, and they finished with 28.\u00a0 Also, we got an unusual 18 points for Alabama, which we changed to 17 because is unlikely to have 18 in a football game. At the end of the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> quarter, the score was 21-18, close to our observations,\u201d McLean said.<\/p>\n<p>McLean\u2019s ultimate goal was to provide students with a fun learning opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/12\/EngrMgmt-FootballGameSimulation2012_12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" data-attachment-id=\"7623\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2012\/12\/students-use-video-games-to-predict-real-life-football-games\/engrmgmt-footballgamesimulation2012_12\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/12\/EngrMgmt-FootballGameSimulation2012_12.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,531\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jaimie Davis&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D300S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1354289624&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"EngrMgmt-FootballGameSimulation2012_12\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/12\/EngrMgmt-FootballGameSimulation2012_12.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7623\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/12\/EngrMgmt-FootballGameSimulation2012_12-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/12\/EngrMgmt-FootballGameSimulation2012_12-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/12\/EngrMgmt-FootballGameSimulation2012_12.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u201cPredicting the game is extremely difficult based upon the large number of variables.
