Vanderbilt has had two straight Saturdays without a game. The first was due to postponing the Missouri game due to COVID roster limitations. Last Saturday was the scheduled bye week. Last week, we looked at the 13 recognized SEC teams, and then those teams mostly did what I expected. It was nice to have some validation after how the Staff Pick’em is going for me.
With that said, the traditional Bye Week Special is where I break mid-season form and take a step back. For folks new to (or those needing a refresher to) my nonsense, the goal of Lessons in Vanderbilt football week-to-week is to keep focused on how the season is developing.
