Better Double-Up on the Deodorant: Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt Commodores, 17-14 (10-8): After beating Florida for the second time, Vanderbilt moved back into the projected field. It might not be a popular opinion to say the Commodores will be the first 15-loss to make the tournament, but I think they will be. Really though, what is the huge distinction between 14 losses and 15? Just because it has historically been the cutline doesn’t mean it always has to be. A 15-loss team with the second best SOS is better than a 14-loss team with a worse SOS, if we are going to select a major conference team. Because of this, I think all the Commodores need to do is take care of Texas A&M to get a bid.

Record vs. RPI top-50: 5-7          Record vs. RPI 50-100: 5-6

Monday seed: 11     RPI: 44     SOS: 2

Bad losses: at Missouri
