I have an entirely understandable fondness for teams that are historically awful

BRAD EDWARDS, ESPN Research:

When Vanderbilt kicked a field goal in the final seconds to beat No. 16 Georgia, it was more than just a rare SEC road win for the Commodores. It was the end of the longest losing streak against ranked teams in the history of the AP poll, which has been around since 1936. Entering Saturday, Vanderbilt had lost 54 straight games to AP-ranked teams -- a drought that began in 1992 -- and had not beaten a ranked team on the road since knocking off Alabama in Mobile on Oct. 7, 1950. To top it all off, it was Vanderbilt's first win in school history on the campus of a ranked opponent.
