“Vandy is the only team from 8-14 that actually won their game, and they’re still 12th. Cold world. That said, well... maybe don’t struggle with Tennessee State?” — Chris Novak

“Well, at least Mizzou’s defense didn’t give up 30+ to the bye week.” - Chris Novak
“They’re the most low key team in the league to this point and they had a bye in Week 5. Still no true verdict on the Tigers IMO.” — Julian Mitchell

“Two shaky performances the last two weeks. But they’ve both resulted in wins. So, the show goes on.” — Chris Novak

2. LSU Tigers
