College Football Polls: Finally Vandy Is Dandy

It looks like the SEC is going to have to find another school to beat up on. For the first time since 1984, the Vanderbilt Commodores are ranked in the Top 25. Vanderbilt is 4-0 after defeating Ole Miss 23-17 Saturday night in Oxford.

"We're proud of the ranking. It is a reflection of us being 4-0, but I also think voters in both polls are seeing a team that plays hard and does everything it can to win games. As a coach, that's all you can ask of your team," Johnson said.

"I'm extremely proud of how hard our guys played last night at Ole Miss. Both teams gave great effort. This was a really good win for our team. That's probably the way the voters saw it too. We're going to enjoy this one for a day, then get back to work and try to become a better football team," Johnson added.
