One is the most unlikely College Football Playoff contender from the SEC ranks. The other, a woefully under-discussed program that has impressed all season. Entering the year, Vanderbilt vs. Missouri didn't look like a game that all college football fans would have to circle on the calendar, but entering Week 9, the matchup earned College GameDay treatment, with both the Commodores and Tigers jockeying for playoff position.
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.
