Notes:
1 - I will update later today for the 3rd team offense & defense.
- Willie Baker is on the third team, but I don't know if he was at DL or LB.
2 - CBS Sports released their preseason projections last week. They had Vanderbilt finishing 3-9, including wins against Mercer, Colorado State, and Tech.
3 - Athlon Sports has Vanderbilt in the #96 slot for the 2020 season.
4 - Phil Steele has two CUSA teams, UAB & Charlotte, on his top 10 list of teams on the rise.

Any surprises?

I better go to Barnes & Noble today to purchase Athlon Sports' preview of college football & see if magazines from Phil Steele & Sporting News are on the shelf.
