Vanderbilt (8-2, 4-2 SEC) stayed at No. 14 in the CFP rankings after an open date last week, though it was jumped by Miami despite no discernible change in the two teams' resumes. The Wildcats (5-5, 2-5) are aiming to earn bowl eligibility after missing out on the postseason last year. Here's how the Tennessean's experts pick Vandy-Kentucky:

Left for dead a few weeks ago, Kentucky is 5-5 after beating the trio of Auburn, Florida, and Tennessee Tech and fighting for a bowl bid. Vanderbilt is favored to win this game but I’m not assuming anything. Kickoff is at 2:30 PM CT on ESPN. Have fun, expect to win.

The Commodores are chasing a playoff berth while the Wildcats just want to get bowl eligible. May be some fireworks.

Vanderbilt will hold its senior day celebration prior to the matchup at FirstBank Stadium Nov. 20 (2:30 p.m. CT, ESPN). That celebration will include star quarterback Diego Pavia, who has stated that he is not pursuing extra eligibility and this will be his final year of college football.

The good news is that Diego Pavia, Eli Stowers, and the buzzsaw that is Vanderbilt’s offense dropped 45, including the game-winning drive in overtime. Let’s dive into everything else that happened on the way there.

Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from HoosierDore901: Is the up-tempo offensive revelation we saw yesterday something we should expect as a tool against Kentucky & THEM or was this a one time deal because of what we saw in Auburn’s defense?
