14. Vanderbilt Commodores (100/1)
In Derek Mason’s second season at the post, the Commodores face long odds on the road to Atlanta.
Vandy’s offense was a disaster in ’14, finishing 116th, and the defense wasn’t much better. Mason has made the right moves this offseason, hiring Wisconsin offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig and appointing himself as defensive coordinator.
18 starters return, but unless Vandy finds a reliable quarterback, I wouldn’t put my money on the Commodores.
Longshot: I’m not saying the Commodores can’t improve under a new offensive coordinator and a manageable non-conference schedule, but no one is expecting the ‘Dores to make their first trip to the Georgia Dome this winter.
