November SEC Stock Picks
Brought to you by our good friends at Pythoge!
“East Alabama’s Classic Home Builder”
All the leaves on the trees are falling, little ghosts, ghouls, and goblins will walk the streets tonight in search of candy and a chilly November wind sets in to tell us what’s to come! Welcome to November college football fans for the final stretch of the 2023 season. It seems like yesterday in late August when we issued our very first SEC Stock picks and order of finish here at Radio Free Auburn.
Time has already told the story of several of those picks and by the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, the rest of the story will unfold. Picking Georgia, Alabama and LSU to contend for their divisions was as easy a decision as buying Apple stock. The tale of the tape remains in the rest of the division picks. Clearly in the Eastern Division, RFA missed badly on overrating Kentucky preseason while underrating Missouri. In the Western Division, Arkansas was way overbought here while Ole Miss was oversold preseason more than they should have been. Nevertheless, there is still one month left in the regular season of college football and at best predicting it will remain a moving target.

Predictions for the 11/4 weekend of college football will hit here at Radio Free Auburn on Thursday. But this is such a big weekend we had to go ahead and comment on a few of the games both in SEC play and nationally. Before that though, look at the most recent “The Uncle TBONE Top 20” in the link below.

Nationally the action shifts this Saturday back to the SEC. AP Ranked #1 Georgia will host #14 Missouri in an Eastern Division showdown while #8 Alabama will host #13 LSU in the Western Division. #11 Ole Miss will host unranked but hungry Texas A&M to kick off the day in Oxford. The rest of the SEC schedule this weekend is below.

All 14 teams will play Saturday, including a revived Auburn squad that got their first conference win under Hugh Freeze this past Saturday over downtrodden Miss. State. November sets up nicely for Auburn over the next three weeks with trips to Vanderbilt, Arkansas and then at home against New Mexico State. The Tigers are not a good enough program right now to assume victories in those three games. But if Auburn takes care of business, the Iron Bowl in Jordan-Hare to end the season will be a war. Never forget that though Billy the Kid said it best below:
“There's many a slip twixt cup and lip.”

Looking over the AP Top 25, there are legitimately 15 teams ranked 1-15 plus Air Force that potentially could make The BCS Final Four in the college football playoffs. Realistically, the ranked Top 11 are your only real contenders left. Tonight, the official BCS Rankings will be released on ESPN. My prediction will be that after demolishing Florida, UGA will stay number one, followed by Michigan, Ohio State and then Florida State. Undefeated Washington will be the first team on the outside looking in at #5 with once beaten Oregon at #6. A team with one loss outside the initial Top 6 will have a difficult opportunity to break into the last Final Four ranking. Keep an eye on Texas to be the most realistic of these teams to do just that if the scenario plays out like RFA states above.
