Vanderbilt football is still outside the top 10 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, moving up one spot to No. 11 after a 17-10 win over Missouri. The Commodores remained in the top 10 of the AP Poll, moving up one spot to No. 9.

USA Today's Paul Myerberg relayed the reality of college football in 2025: the Indiana Hoosiers and Vanderbilt Commodores are the new world order in the sport.

With a 7–1 record, Heisman candidate and coach who refuses to quit, the Commodores’ miracle season is rewriting what’s possible at the perennial doormat.

Here's how Vanderbilt football has remained focused after the hype surrounding "College GameDay" and the College Football Playoff.

Elsewhere in the CBS Sports 136, we see some notable moves up for one-loss Big 12 teams Cincinnati (up four spots) and Houston (up seven spots), as each logged key wins in conference play over the weekend and continue to build their case as top-20 teams nationally with their 7-1 records.

It wasn't pretty, but Vanderbilt held on for a 17–10 win that saw both teams turn the ball over and suffer more than 80 yards in penalties. In perhaps the most impactful moment of the game for Mizzou's longterm outlook, quarterback Beau Pribula left Saturday's game in a wheelchair, sporting an aircast.

Vanderbilt beat Missouri 17-10 to improve to 7-1, and the Tigers suffered an even bigger loss at quarterback. CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported that Beau Pribula's ankle injury, which he sustained during the game, would keep him out of the rest of the regular season.

Diego Pavia dove across the goal line for a 1-yard touchdown with 1:52 left as No. 10 Vanderbilt beat 15th-ranked Missouri 17-10 Saturday to extend the Commodores’ best start in more than 80 years.
