Two summers ago I picked Vanderbilt as the most important game of Tennessee's season. Last year the closest Vanderbilt came to winning an SEC game was against Tennessee, a 24-17 loss that ended the Commodores' season at 3-9 (0-8). The last two years under James Franklin Vanderbilt went 9-4 and finished in the Top 25. In 2014 Vanderbilt's nine losses came by an average of 23 points.
