Digest more
Another week of college football is in the book as there are only two more weeks left in the college football regular season before conference championship week. There was not a ton of change in top of the playoff rankings a week ago, but Vanderbilt was helped by ACC teams losing. This week, things did change.

Clark Lea Expresses Extreme Confidence in College Football Playoff Hopes Despite Negative Buzz
NASHVILLE—In the midst of Saturday’s noise, results and the general sense of pessimism that arose from them, Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea stepped up to the podium
Here's where Vanderbilt football fell in the College Football Playoff rankings in the committee's initial bracket release.
Diego Pavia threw a 4-yard pass to Cole Spence in overtime, and No. 15 Vanderbilt rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat Auburn 45-38 on Saturday.
As expected, the Vanderbilt Commodores are on the outside looking in in Tuesday’s edition of the College Football Playoff rankings.
After wins over Tennessee and Alabama, Oklahoma needs to avoid a letdown at home against Missouri to keep its Playoff spot. The Tigers are likely down their top two quarterbacks (Beau Pribula is doubtful), but running back Ahmad Hardy torched Mississippi State for 300 yards last week. (Missouri’s Playoff odds are at zero regardless of result.)
Ole Miss won four straight games after dropping a road contest at Georgia (43-35). The Rebels have two ranked wins, #4 LSU (24-19) and #13 Oklahoma (34-26). The Rebels have won a ton of close games too, which is concerning. Ole Miss beat Kentucky, Arkansas, LSU, Washington State, and Oklahoma each by one possession, which is a dangerous game.
Vanderbilt football was ranked No. 14 in the second iteration of the College Football Playoff rankings released Nov. 11.
