The last time the Commodores were ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll was a No. 10 ranking in 1947. Since 1950, Vanderbilt topped out at a No. 13 AP ranking and No. 14 Coaches Poll ranking in 2008. The Commodores will also be hosting "College GameDay" for the first time since 2008 for their game against Missouri on Oct. 25 (2:30 p.m. CT, ESPN).

The Tigers lost to Vanderbilt in a matchup of two top 20 teams inside FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. LSU's defense had little to no answer for Commodores star quarterback Diego Pavia as Brian Kelly and the Tigers fell, 31-24, in the team's first morning game in 2025.

The Vanderbilt football program has vaulted into the top ten of the AP Poll, making some program history in the process.

This week's AP Top 25 college football poll includes landmark rankings for No. 2 Indiana, No. 7 Georgia Tech and No. 10 Vanderbilt.
