They know rankings change. Traditions don't. And they know that when you drink Jägermeister on game day, you drink it ice cold. Otherwise you just don't know the game.

So drink it ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Jägermeister. Damn that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jägermeister liqueur 35% alcohol by volume. Reported by Mass Jägermeister, US, White Plains, New York.

Mike G (2:56)

All right. Well, let's get to the conversation today. Auburn versus Vanderbilt.

Auburn opens up as a favorite despite having the loss versus Florida this week. Florida made it into the top 25 in the AP poll of when versus Auburn gives a lot of confidence in Florida. Florida's actually favored in their game this weekend in the Swamp versus Ole Miss, which is a crazy lie.

B Wil (3:30)

Interesting.

Mike G (3:32)

Listen, what I think that says to me is how much the AP voters, the press, whomever, really like Auburn's defense going into this year and therefore impressed by Florida's offense as a result of what they did to Auburn in that game. That's what that says to me.

B Wil (3:51)

I just wonder if the result had been different.

Mike G (3:54)

The other way around, would Auburn be in the top 25?

B Wil (3:56)

Yeah, absolutely not. Hell no.

Mike G (3:59)

Hell no.

B Wil (4:00)

So yeah, it's funny how that is not a two-way street, but it is what it is. It's the SEC. You win a majority of your games, you get ranked, you get into the playoff. That's the name of the game.

SPEAKER_2 (4:10)

Yeah, at the end of the day, you just got to keep going.

B Wil (4:12)

That's the beauty of being in the SEC.

Mike G (4:13)

Yeah. All right. So I had an opportunity to talk with one of the guys over at The Door Report earlier this week. So that is live for our members and also on podcast out there for you guys if you want to listen to that conversation. However, he's not a solo guy over at The Door Report.

My guy, Will Byrum, is in here with us tonight. He is going to continue to educate us about the good folks over at the Vanderbilt Commodores. Welcome in to the Midweek Report. Will Byrum, what's up, man?

Will Byrum (4:47)

How's it going? Heard you guys talking about just winning the SEC, you know, getting the college football playoff. Vanderbilt fans found out might not be the case.

Mike G (4:55)

So yeah, you guys got screwed last year. Let's keep it all the way above.
