The referee misapplied the rules when giving Balogun the red card, therefore what FIFA is saying is it shouldn’t have been a red card in the first place because the referee broke proper VAR procedure. It’s pretty black and white and not rigged or malicious. Just the rules.
There’s plenty of things to complain about with seeding and things like that, but hot take: if we make our free throws, we win. 🤷♂️ Nebraska played well. We played well. Should have hit our free throws.

This is the resume of a playoff team. @VandyFootball is a playoff team.
Worth remembering Miami only jumped Vanderbilt when Vandy was on a Bye. After that, Vanderbilt proceeded to play 2 complete games in dominating fashion, including a then ranked Tennessee team on the road. May be time to jump us back over them.
No bias CFP rankings based solely on resume:
Ohio State
Indiana
Georgia
Texas Tech
Oregon
Ole Miss
Texas A and M
Oklahoma
Vanderbilt
Miami
BYU
Alabama
Notre Dame
Texas
Tired: Texas was blowing out Vanderbilt then took the foot off the gas and Vanderbilt made a comeback in garbage time.
Wired: Vanderbilt played its worst half of football, corrected at halftime, and showed why were a much better team winning 21-10 in the second half.
I had no idea Texas would cry this much in a season they lost to 4-8 Florida. Florida, not Ohio State is why they are missing the playoffs. It’s obvious. Their wins are why they’re 15 and not 23.
If the ACC champion is ranked ahead of us (Miami), then we only need to get to 11 in the rankings. If Miami loses today, the ACC champion will be ranked below us and we need to get to 10. Aren’t we rooting for Miami to win the ACC title?
And for the record, I’ve been a long time listener of the DLB w/ Stugotz show, big fan of yours, which is the only reason I feel the need to defend my team.
@MichaelRyanRuiz Not only did Vanderbilt beat VT worse than you (I know you like the common opponents thread), we beat a 5-5 Kentucky team this week worse than you beat a 3-8 VT team THIS WEEK. We get it. Miami deserves a spot in the CFP, but it isn’t at Vanderbilt’s expense.
@MichaelRyanRuiz Totally agree that Texas with 3 losses should be out and behind Miami. Utah is a bad resume and should behind both Vanderbilt and Miami.
