College Football Report (Vandy Goes 4-0)

Vanderbilt just beat Richmond to go 4-0. The Commodores need two more wins to become bowl-eligible and will be favored in upcoming games against MTSU and Kentucky. Vandy has been playing well and showing a lot of confidence, but their competition so far has been less than stellar. Richmond came into today's game 1-1 in Division I-AA. Vanderbilt's other opponents—Wake Forest, Arkansas, and Mississippi—are normally quality teams that are competitive in major conferences. This year, however, Wake and Arkansas are 1-3; Ole Miss is 1-2. All three teams were soundly defeated today.

Still Vanderbilt is 4-0 and has a really good chance of being 5-0 after next week. Even if they lose against conference powerhouses Tennessee, Florida, LSU, and Georgia (and I think they can beat Georgia), they could realistically defeat Kentucky and South Carolina and end the season 7-4 and 4-4 in the SEC. That would land the Commodores in a decent bowl game.

Enough with Vanderbilt. After today's games, this is how I would rank the nation's top ten teams:

1) USC (4-0)
2) Virginia Tech (4-0)
3) Texas (3-0)
4) Michigan State (4-0)
5) Florida (4-0)
6) LSU (1-0)
7) Florida State (3-0)
8) Ohio State (3-1)
9) Alabama (4-0)
10) California (3-0)

Vandy's pancake schedule may land them in a bowl game..... so what? They are still in the basement of the SEC East. And no they will not beat Georgia or South Carolina. If you want some more very biased college football comments you can find them here.
