Vanderbilt Gets 5 1st-Place Votes in SEC Preseason CFB Poll; Predicted Last Overall
The Vanderbilt Commodores have never before won 10 games in a season. Some media members are predicting that will change in 2023.
In a preseason poll published Friday by the SEC, eight media members selected Vanderbilt football to win the 2023 SEC Eastern Division, and five voted for the Commodores to finish as SEC champions.
The majority of voters chose Vanderbilt to finish last in the division.
Georgia was the clear favorite, with 265 first-place votes to win the Eastern Division (2,011 total points) and 181 to win the conference. The SEC noted that only nine of the 31 champions predicted by this poll have gone on to win the conference title.
