Vanderbilt's resume shows promise but is still a work in progress. Their recent victories over lesser opponents like MD Eastern Shore and Jackson State provide a foundation, yet their strength of schedule leaves much to be desired. Upcoming matchups against TCU and Virginia Tech will be crucial; a win in either could significantly boost their profile and lend credibility to their overall record. However, losses in these games, especially against teams like Mississippi State and Tennessee later in the season, may hurt their chances considerably. Ultimately, consistency on both ends of the floor will be key, as their defensive struggles have the potential to derail their season if not addressed.
