The college football season is in full swing, and the battle for Southeastern Conference supremacy is heating up. In a conference game between ranked SEC opponents, No. 11 Vanderbilt will be on the road Saturday to face No. 19 Texas in Austin, Texas.

The Trojans lost to Illinois and Notre Dame. They're now 2-6 on the road since joining the Big Ten, and 9-9 all-time under Lincoln Riley. They're also only 6-12 ATS on the road under Riley, including a mark of 3-11 ATS when favored on the road. Now, trends aren't predictive, but they do tell a story.

Things began well enough in November 2024, when Vanderbilt won at Auburn, marking the team’s first victory in 10 attempts at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Vanderbilt was 6-3 overall at that point and 3-2 in the SEC, ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 and potentially poised to make some real noise down the stretch.

Texas football secured a dramatic win over Mississippi State Saturday. Here's how it impacted the Longhorns in the polls.

Pavia and Vanderbilt have a chance to make some more waves before the end of the regular season. Their final four games are No. 20 Texas (Nov. 1), Auburn (Nov. 8), Kentucky (Nov. 22) and No. 14 Tennessee (Nov. 29).

Here’s where Missouri football landed in the updated national rankings after losing to Vanderbilt on the road.

Texas Longhorns football coach Steve Sarkisian may or may not have an SEC Championship contender in Austin with three tough games to close the season.

People I see, weary of me Showing my good side I can see how people look down I’m on the outside Here’s where the story ends Oh, here’s where the story ends — The Sundays, 1990 Oh Brian Kelly … sigh.
