The team is best known for its game on October 5, 2024, where Vanderbilt beat No. 1 Alabama 40–35. They gained their first victory over the Crimson Tide in 40 years,[1] as well as their first ever win over an AP top 5 opponent after going 0–60 all time against them prior to that matchup.[2] Their fans carried the South end zone goalposts 2.9 miles through downtown Nashville and Broadway before dumping them in the Cumberland River across from Nissan Stadium. Fans made it past many road blocks by the Nashville Metropolitan PD, and even took a detour around Bridgestone Arena to avoid police. They were fined $100,000 by the SEC. The following week, Vanderbilt achieved another upset against double digit spread by beating the Kentucky Wildcats for their first win on the road of the season.[3]

On October 20, the Commodores achieved their first AP Top 25 ranking for the first time since the end of the 2013 season, at No. 25.[3]

The Commodores faced their historic rival Georgia Tech in the 2024 Birmingham Bowl. With the win over Georgia Tech, the Commodores won their first bowl game and secured their first winning season since 2013.
