As the weeks go on, the stakes get higher. Next week in Austin, Texas is no different as Vanderbilt looks to likely eliminate Texas from the College Football Playoff conversation. But in its own right, Vanderbilt looks to stay solely in the playoff conversation.

Vanderbilt welcomed "College GameDay" to campus and won a top-15 matchup for the first time. Do you believe in the 7-1 Commodores yet?

Diego Pavia dove across the goal line for a 1-yard touchdown with 1:52 left as No. 10 Vanderbilt beat 15th-ranked Missouri 17-10 Saturday to extend the Commodores’ best start in more than 80 years.

The Longhorns beat Vanderbilt last season in Nashville, 27-24, and are betting favorites to do so once again despite Arch Manning potentially being in danger of missing the contest after reportedly suffering a concussion on Saturday against Mississippi State, per ESPN.

USA Today's Paul Myerberg relayed the reality of college football in 2025: the Indiana Hoosiers and Vanderbilt Commodores are the new world order in the sport.
