13. Vanderbilt Commodores

Vanderbilt had a terrific season by their standards in 2016.

Not only did the Commodores go to a bowl game, but they also enjoyed wins over Georgia, Ole Miss, and Tennessee.

However, I don’t think Vandy can continue to score at the same pace they did to finish the 2016 season.

The Commodores lost two key offensive linemen, and they also lost linebacker Zach Cunningham, one of the best players in school history.

I don’t think Vanderbilt will be able to maintain the same consistency they did last season. Teams won’t overlook them in 2017 like they did in 2016.
