Kentucky is back on the road for the first time since defeating Auburn on the Plains to begin November. A lot of good has happened for this football program since that win. The Cats are now looking to record their biggest victory of season in Week 13.

Take a look at which members of the Commodores' 2026 and 2027 recruiting classes put together the most impressive playoff performances for their high school teams this week.

Mark Byington called out the Vanderbilt Commodores fanbase following the team's blowout win over Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday night.

BOTTOM LINE: Vanderbilt seeks to keep its three-game win streak going when the Commodores take on UAPB. Vanderbilt went 20-13 overall with a 14-3 record at home during the 2024-25 season. The Commodores allowed opponents to score 74.3 points per game and shoot 45.9% from the field last season.

Yes, the Commodores are real College Football Playoff contenders, and earned their second consecutive ranked win on Oct. 25, defeating Missouri 17-10 in a wacky game. Missouri true freshman quarterback Matt Zollers completed a pass to Kevin Coleman Jr. on the final play of the game, but Coleman fell just short of the goal line as time expired.

Take a look at what some of the prospects that were in town this past weekend had to say about their time in Nashville.

Vanderbilt football begins the final three-game stretch of the season by hosting Auburn in the interim debut of D.J. Durkin on Nov. 8 at FirstBank Stadium. The Commodores (7-2, 3-2 SEC) attempted a large comeback but fell a score short at Texas last week, and they tumbled toward the back end of the top 20 as a result.

The Vanderbilt Commodores (4-0) welcome the Texas Southern Tigers (0-4) at Memorial Gymnasium on Thursday.
