Well, the Vanderbilt Commodores weren’t for real. We thought after beating the Georgia Bulldogs and playing the Auburn Tigers and Florida Gators close, they would have a legitimate chance to get to six wins and reach a bowl game in Derek Mason’s third year.

Instead, they lost to who we thought was the worst team in the conference in the Missouri Tigers, and as such, they have now fallen to last place in our SEC Power Rankings.

This was supposed to be a defensive team, but it gave up over 400 total yards to a Missouri offense that has struggled all year. Meanwhile, Kyle Shurmur can move the ball but can’t close the deal, and the Commodores don’t seem to know that sticking with the running game is how they win.

So poor coaching is also a problem with this team. As a result, at 4-6, we don’t foresee them having any chance of making it to a bowl game.

Their final two games are against the Ole Miss Rebels and the Tennessee Vols. There is no possible way they win both games, and it’s more than likely that they lose both. So this team is done.

Mason’s career likely is as well.
