SouthernPigskin.com Senior Editor B.J. Bennett looks at the top ten southern college football games of November. Follow us on Twitter at Twitter.com/SouthernPigskin
1. Florida State at Florida, November 28th - This game isn't on here because it will likely be competitive. Florida will be heavy favorites. But this will be the last home game of Tim Tebow's career and could, potentially, be the last game for FSU legend Bobby Bowden. We're just saying. The Tebow factor alone will make this game a national headline. An undercard to the Tebow story, this could be the last game for FSU defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews, who recently announced his retirement.
2. Appalachian State at Elon, November 14th - Trust us. Two FCS national championship contenders and two of the most dynamic talents to ever play college football in Appalachian State's Armanti Edwards and Elon's Terrell Hudgins. You could make the argument that both are the best to ever play their respective positions at the college level.
3. Alabama at Auburn, November 27th - When these two teams are playing well, there is no better rivalry in college sports. Throw in the fact that this game is on a Friday and it spices things up a little bit. Auburn head coach Gene Chizik had a lot of success as a defensive coordinator against Alabama and his Tigers will be looking to spoil the Crimson Tide's national title run
4. LSU at Alabama, November 7th - A game many have overlooked with the Crimson Tide playing so well, but Les Miles' Tigers still control their own destiny in the SEC West. A win here by LSU and the SEC and national championship races look a whole lot different. Last season's contest was an overtime classic.
5. Clemson at South Carolina, November 28th - A vastly underrated rivalry nationally, both the Tigers and Gamecocks are playing very good this season. Big-time bowl implications, not to mention bragging rights, will be on the line when these two collide.
6. Florida at South Carolina, November 14th - Likely the toughest game left on the schedule for the mighty Gators. Though the hype has slipped some over South Carolina's loss to Tennessee, this Gamecock team is still very capable and has the talent to challenge Florida here. Williams-Brice Stadium is one of the most underrated places to play in college football.
7. Miami at South Florida, November 28th - How about this new and emerging rivalry? South Florida already upended FSU; a win over Miami would send shockwaves through the state. Raymond James Stadium will be rocking as the 'Canes have never traveled to USF. Two of the most exciting quarterbacks in the game will be going at it here.
8. Georgia at Georgia Tech, November 28th - Last season's Georgia Tech win halted a long Bulldog winning streak. Two victories in a row would be a major statement for a Yellow Jacket squad that looks like the class of the ACC this season. Depending on how the season shakes out, this game really could have some national title implications.
9. Ole Miss at Mississippi State, November 28th - How about some love for the Egg Bowl? Dan Mullen has changed the mindset at MSU and the Bulldogs are playing much better. His arrival certainly has the attention of Houston Nutt and Ole Miss. Look for this rivalry to become more important in the years to come.
10. Georgia Tech at Duke, November 14th - The Blue Devils are still in the mix in the ACC Coastal Division. A win here, and look out! This game has the potential for fireworks with Josh Nesbitt and Thad Lewis going back and forth. This could be the most important home game in Durham in decades.
