Vanderbilt
Let's get the obvious one out of the way. Vanderbilt has been riding to coattails of the SEC since the beginning of time. Beyond being the academic arm of the conference and being good at baseball, the Commodores are consistent bottom dwellers in the standings who barely seemed bothered by the fact they are constant bottom dwellers.
For fans a trip to Nashville is fun, until the actual game starts. Vanderbilt is finally doing some stadium renovations to attempt to not look like an all purpose high school stadium. In fact there are legit high school stadiums nicer than what Vanderbilt puts forth.
That's fine if one is playing in the Big South, but not in the SEC.
The games against Vanderbilt are never fun to watch. Even when Florida does win it always feels like something stupid happens that forces that Gators into a survive and advance mentality.
