EXACTLY true! I couldn't have said it better myself.
Before the game, all the SEC homers like Buck on 680 and the Dawgvent thought that Vandy would hang around all day and GT would beat them by 10 going away in the fourth. "Vandy plays tough", "Vandy is no Duke", etc.
Then of course we're up 38-0 on the first offensive play of the second half, with yardage stats of something like 350-50. We just destroyed them.
Yeah, Vandy sure was tough for us.
But clearly that can't mean Tech is good. Ergo, Vandy must be bad. So after the game, Buck and the same other folks that were talking up Vandy were saying "well, Vandy is worse than we thought" or "Vandy is really a 1AA level team."
Well, Vandy WHOOPED one of the best 1AA teams the next weekend. Hung 60 on 'em.
Clearly Vandy is not as bad as a 1AA team.
But I haven't heard any of the SEC homers acknowledge that yet.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Auburn fails to cover this weekend against Vanderbilt.
BTW, the same thing is true of Connecticut. The season is young so far, but right now GT looked a LOT better than BC in UConn's only two games.
I don't think Vandy and UConn are world-beaters but I think they're better than a lot of folks give them credit for. I'm not saying they're good, but they're legit lower-tier 1A teams.
