Vandy had a nice season, but let's not get too excited about this new era of Commodore Football. They played three cupcakes plus Va Tech. So, 4. They did not beat anyone that is currently ranked, so they mostly fed on the bottom half of the SEC, and got thumped by Bama and probably their best game was a close loss to Texas. They beat three conference teams with winning records (LSU, Missouri, and Tennessee). They were 8, 9, and 10 in the conference. They had a very good season, better than Iowa's for sure, but nothing so good that matching up with Iowa is a sleight.
A bit of paper tiger in that 10-2 record.
