Inside the SEC Showdown: Uncover the Dark Horse Destined to Dominate College Football’s Fiercest Conference!
Player to watch: Anyone who can get after a quarterback. The Bulldogs did almost none of that last season, but linebacker Zakari Tillman returns off a 3.5-sack season.
16. Vanderbilt
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 15th (11th OFF, 15th DEF)
- 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 16th (16th OFF, 15th DEF)
One scary thing: The likely lack of a pass rush. Vandy’s 27.5% pressure rate was second-lowest in the SEC, ahead of only Mississippi State. The Commodores have a few accomplished pass-rushers (linebacker Nick Rinaldi tops among them), but I worry about opposing QBs having too much time.
