Another popular gameday show will be visiting Nashville this weekend.

“SEC Nation” will be holding its show on Vanderbilt’s campus this Saturday to preview No. 14 Vanderbilt’s final home game of the season against Kentucky. The show is going to be hosted on Alumni Lawn. It is just the second time in the last five seasons that Vanderbilt is hosting the show. The show takes place from 9-11 a.m. CT Saturday morning.

Additionally, Marty Smith and Ryan McGee will be hosting “Marty and McGee” from 8-9 a.m. CT Saturday. The last time the Commodores were the host site of the show was Sep. 10, 2022.

Vanderbilt is coming off its second bye week of the season and is looking to finish the regular season strong and do all it can for a spot in the College Football Playoff. If Vanderbilt were to win out, it would finish the regular season 10-2 and would put the selection committee in a position to either put Vanderbilt in the bracket, or force the committee members to keep it out of the playoffs.

Even with winning out, Vanderbilt may still need some help to get into the playoffs. Wins from Notre Dame and Oklahoma this past weekend hurt Vanderbilt’s playoff odds. The third edition of the College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. CT. One thing to look out for is what the committee does with Texas. The Longhorns are coming off their third loss of the season, but have a head-to-head victory over Vanderbilt. Will the committee drop Texas out of the conversation, or will Vanderbilt be boxed out by Texas?
