The Vanderbilt Commodores are on the outside looking in at the College Football Playoff, but ESPN outlines how they just might have a path.
The Commodores currently sit at No. 14 in the CFP’s most recent rankings. This means that if the season were to end today, Vanderbilt would be a long shot for an at-large bid. However, the season doesn’t end today, and the Commodores have one last week to flip things around.
ESPN currently has Vanderbilt as the first team out in the SEC but outlines its potential path to the CFP:
The Commodores could stay status quo this week, which means at No. 14 they remain a long shot for an at-large bid. Punctuating their résumé with a win against a ranked Tennessee is the first step, but they would also need multiple upsets ahead of them to get serious consideration. It’s not inconceivable, as Miami can lose to Pitt, Oklahoma can suffer a third loss to LSU, Alabama can lose the Iron Bowl. None of it matters, though, without a win in Knoxville.
So, the Commodores will need help from other teams to get itself into the CFP. However, they will need to focus on what they can control heading into the final week, which is getting a win in Knoxville over Tennessee.
