I think hell just froze over.

Commodores crack Top 25 for first time in 24 years; LSU moves into 5th

NEW YORK -- The Southeastern Conference needs to find another pushover.

Vanderbilt, for years the weakest team in college football's toughest league, moved into the AP Top 25 on Sunday for the first time in 24 years.

The unbeaten Commodores are No. 21 in the latest rankings.

"I think it's a pretty good reward for a good start," Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson said Sunday in a telephone interview. "Our guys are pretty smart. They realize it won't help you win games.

"They're already a pretty confident bunch. They're going to go into games thinking they're going to have a good chance to win."

At the top of The Associated Press media poll, little changed after No. 1 Southern California and No. 2 Oklahoma had the week off.

No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Florida held their spots and LSU moved up one place after a 26-21 victory at Auburn, giving the SEC three teams in the top five.

Last week the SEC became the first league to have five teams in the AP top 10, but Auburn dropped five spots from No. 10 to 15th this week, leaving the SEC with four in the top 10, including No. 8 Alabama.

I'm in tears because Vandy's in the Top 25 and Arkansas struggles against Louisiana-Monroe.

More importantly, how about the fact that last week, half of the Top 10 was from the SEC?
