First off, Kudos to the Commodores, fresh off their third consecutive victory to open the season, the Commodores are starting to garner attention from voters of leading Top 25 polls.James Franklin's Commodores received 11 votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll and eight votes in the Associated Press ballot on Sunday, one day after defeating Southeastern Conference Western Division rival Ole Miss 30-7 in Nashville.
It marks the first time in nearly three years that Vanderbilt received votes in either poll. The Commodores' last appearance in the Top 25 came during midseason of the 2008 season.
This week, the Commodores make their first road trip of the season, facing Steve Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia. The game, featuring kickoff at 6 p.m., will be televised on ESPN2. The Gamecocks, reigning champs of the SEC Eastern Division, are 3-0 and currently ranked No. 10 by the coaches poll and No. 12 by the AP.
