  In this paper, the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics and entropy
is revisited in the context of cosmological models in Gauss-Bonnet gravity with
the boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical
apparent horizon. The model is best fitted with the observational data for
distance modulus. The best fitted geometric and thermodynamic parameters such
as equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter and entropy are derived.
To link between thermodynamic and geometric parameters, the "entropy rate of
change multiplied by the temperature" as a model independent thermodynamic
state parameter is also derived. The results show that the model is in good
agreement with the observational analysis.
