The No. 15 Missouri Tigers, led by quarterback Beau Pribula, face the No. 10 Vanderbilt Commodores, led by quarterback Diego Pavia, on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.

Vanderbilt hosts Missourah (spits) in what the Southeastern Conference for some unknown reason is calling a “conference game,” even though Vanderbilt is clearly hosting a Big 8 team. Also, this is unironically a game between the #15 team in the country and the #10 team in the country, and you’ll never believe which of those Vanderbilt is.

Vanderbilt student Tyler Hwang won $500,000 on ESPN’s “College GameDay” on Saturday morning by making a 33-yard field goal during host Pat McAfee’s weekly kicking contest. McAfee also donated another $250,000 to charity, bringing the successful kick’s total to $750,000.

The Commodores took Missouri to two overtimes last season and they're favored as they return home to Nashville. They're coming off of a 31-24 win against LSU, which was their second triumph against a top-15 team -- LSU ranked 10th entering the Week 8 slate -- this season. Vanderbilt is also undefeated at home.
