Vanderbilt vs. Alabama: College GameDay Preview
ESPN’s “College GameDay” is set to broadcast live from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, this morning, gearing up for an exciting matchup between two SEC rivals: the No. 16 Vanderbilt Commodores and the No. 10 Alabama Crimson Tide.
A Rivalry Rekindled
Last season, these teams faced off in Nashville, where Alabama, favored by three touchdowns, suffered a shocking 40-35 defeat. That loss significantly impacted Alabama’s season, contributing to the team’s absence from the College Football Playoff.
Fast forward to this season, both teams have entered the Week 6 matchup ranked, following Alabama’s recent victory over Georgia. Vanderbilt is celebrating its best start and ranking since 2008, having won all five of its opening games, including a significant victory over South Carolina.
