Preview:: No. 14 Vanderbilt Football vs. Kentucky, Game 11

If Vanderbilt wants a chance at a spot in the College Football Playoff, it needs to take care of business this week.

The Commodores are 8-2 and coming off their second bye week of the season as the home finale looms this weekend with a 5-5 Kentucky team coming to town. Vanderbilt went to Kentucky last season and won in a one-possession game. This season, defending home turf is a must.

Realistically, Vanderbilt needs to win its final two games to have a chance at a postseason bid. This weekend is just the beginning. The Commodores playoff chances took a hit this past weekend with teams such as Notre Dame Oklahoma and Utah all winning. The Sooners went to Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama, which effectively makes Vanderbilt’s path to the playoff much more difficult, but certainly still possible.

For Kentucky, it has rallied off three consecutive wins to get to 5-5. The Wildcats have beaten Auburn, Florida and Tennessee Tech and have given themselves a good chance to secure a spot in the bowl game.

Vanderbilt should expect a motivated Kentucky team that is looking to spoil Vanderbilt’s season while trying to get bowl eligibility.
