Undefeated Georgia and the Defeated Vanderbilt: the SEC Performance Spectrum

There is a little bit over a month left of the college football season and two teams have shown their capabilities at opposite ends of the spectrum. The No. 1 University of Georgia football program has done nothing but perform beyond the average. The Dawgs have pulled off a win-lose ratio of 6-0 in the SEC. On the other end, Vanderbilt has so far, performed under the average with a 0-5 SEC win-lose ratio.
