Vanderbilt

Does Vanderbilt have a bandwagon yet? People are definitely starting to pay attention, but the bandwagon seems to be slow in getting started. 5-0 for the first time since well before I was born, they have beat 3 SEC teams and two OOC teams. They still have Mississippi State, Kentucky, Duke and Tennessee that are "should win" games, Wake Forest that is a "could win" game, and Georgia and Florida that are "should lose" games. It is entirely possible that Vandy could end the season at 10-2 and play in a very decent bowl - probably Outback in that scenario.

On the other hand, I'm not quite ready to jump on that bandwagon myself. This is, after all, Vandy we're talking about. They have been living off turnovers (Auburn game excepted) and playing teams with pretty bad offenses. I can easily see them crashing back to reality and reeling off 5 losses in a row and finishing 6-6 and, maybe, getting an Independece Bowl bid.

But for now, I think it is just cool that Vandy is doing well and only needs one more win to be bowl eligible.
