Rivalry Week is back for 2021, which means Tennessee and Vanderbilt play to close out the regular season. This season, the 6-5 Volunteers are heavily favored against the 2-9 Commodores. ESPN’s FPI gives Josh Heupel’s squad a 97.3 percent chance to win on Saturday.
Ahead of the game, Vanderbilt boasted of being ranked ahead of Tennessee, when it comes to sorting SEC mascots alphabetically.
The Vanderbilt Commodores are ranked 4th in the SEC, alphabetically by mascot name, while the Tennessee Volunteers are all the way down in 13th.

The replies to Vandy’s tweet were about what you would expect.
OMG first time seeing a Vandy post on my timeline and was sure this was the one finally saying you forefit your spot in the SEC after years of horrible football squads. Carry on receiving your free checks for playing I-AA football! ?
