Vanderbilt non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

Vanderbilt 1998-2007
Average Rank = 98.3
Gms vs @ v %vs BCS non AA %BCS avW 10+ 10+% T10 T% 0 0%

NCAA Ranks 93 83 115 85 110 104

Analysis: The Commodores rankings are pretty low - their highest is #83 - and they've got three Bottom 20's to their discredit. They schedule somewhat erratically, mixing it up, but the usual is one BCS team, a couple average to below average non-BCS teams, and a I-AA team.

Fact: Vanderbilt's seasons opponents' average wins has never been higher than 4.7. (In 2008 it's 4.8 - they're moving up.)

Fact: Half of Vanderbilt's opponents had a high win season of under 6 wins - 8 I-AA opponents, 5 non-BCS opponents, and 4 BCS opponents.

2008 Outlook: @ Wake Forest is probably the toughest of the bunch. Also on tap is @ Miami (OH), Duke, and Rice. Not too bad for 2008.
