Ole Miss & UNC State are the only teams that I can remember that made bowl games, after Vandy beat them.
Seems to me that Vandy is beating up on lesser teams.
They lost to USC, NorthWestern, Florida, UGA, and all of those teams had winning seasons and bowl games.
Presbyterian, Missouri, Auburn, U. Mass, kentucky, ole Miss & Wake Forest aren't exactly quality wins.
I predict that in a year from now, Franklin will leave Vandy. He knows that his soft schedule will not last forever and once he starts to post losing seasons, it will be unlikely that he will get a better coaching job. So, if he wants a better job, such as Iowa, Arizona, etc, then he better leave Vandy on a high note and not leave on a losing season.
