There’s South Carolina’s ‘Orange Crush’ portion of its schedule and Auburn’s late-season annual tilts with nationally-ranked Georgia and Alabama, matchups no team welcomes in November.

Where do your team’s treacherous stretches rank in the SEC in 2015? Here are each program’s pivotal moments this fall:

ALABAMA: October is quite worrisome for the Crimson Tide who travel to Athens and College Station and host Arkansas and Tennessee all in a four-week span. Luckily for Nick Saban’s group, the bye week comes after Alabama welcomes Tennessee to Tuscaloosa, just before a home showdown with LSU. The Crimson Tide should be 4-0 — if they can beat Ole Miss — when this season-defining four-game stretch begins.

ARKANSAS: Facing arguably the SEC’s toughest schedule once again this season, it’s pick your poison for the Razorbacks who will play as many as eight ranked teams in their quest for Atlanta. It never lets up for Arkansas who gets Tennessee and Mizzou from the West and travels to Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge. It would take winning three out of four games in November — at Ole Miss, at LSU, Mississippi State, Mizzou — to stay in contention for the division title, a difficult task.

AUBURN: There’s a chance the Tigers could play three nationally-ranked opponents within the first four games of the season if Louisville makes the Top 25 in the prseason and Mississippi State starts off on the right foot. Auburn’s September slate does the Tigers no favors — vs. Louisville (opener, Georgia Dome), vs. Jacksonville State, at LSU, vs. Mississippi State — and could dictate whether or not this team’s still in the Western Division race at the midway point.

FLORIDA: Jim McElwain should begin scheming now for how his Gators will navigate through October which features three games against ranked teams — vs. Ole Miss, at Mizzou, at LSU. If Florida beats Tennessee for the 11th straight season to start 4-0 on Sept. 26, Gator Nation would be in a frenzy at The Swamp for the Rebels.

GEORGIA: Like Florida, the Bulldogs’ October schedule will decide where Georgia sits nationally heading into the Cocktail Party coming out a bye week on Halloween. Before taking on the Gators, Georgia will battle Alabama and Mizzou with a road trip to Knoxville sandwiched in the middle. Will Nick Chubb still have his legs for the East’s best rivalry in Jacksonville? We’ll see.

KENTUCKY: The Wildcats jump right into the thick of things in September with three games against division rivals. If Kentucky intends on making noise in what’s expected to be a top-heavy East, winning two out of three against South Carolina, Florida and Mizzou is ideal before the midseason October bye week.

LSU: November is brutal with four games against teams that could all be ranked, but if the Tigers want to return to double-digit wins, sweeping their two-game portion with the East is paramount. LSU travels to South Carolina on Oct. 10 and hosts Florida the following week. While the Tigers have a talent edge in both games, a slip-up would damage the season and LSU’s national charge.

MISSISSIPPI: By SEC standards, Hugh Freeze should be happy with the way the Rebels’ schedule sets up next season. They’ll get Alabama early (Sept. 19) and have a bye week before season-ending games against LSU and Mississippi State. There’s a three-game stretch beginning with Texas A&M on Oct. 24 that will determine if Ole Miss still has a shot in the West before its matchup with LSU.

MISSISSIPPI STATE: The schedule is back-loaded for the Bulldogs who will have to endure an eight-game stretch with no breaks before their bye week at the end of October. If they can get to that point with seven wins, then November decides the Western Division for Dan Mullen’s group. The season’s final month begins with a trip to Mizzou and ends with the Egg Bowl with games against Alabama and Arkansas in-between. Gulp.

MISSOURI: How do the Tigers make it three straight division titles? Sweep three league games against East rivals in October and there’s a good chance Mizzou is back in Atlanta. The Tigers host South Carolina (Oct. 3) and Florida in consecutive weeks before going on the road to Georgia and Vanderbilt. Three victories is a must, but four puts Mizzou in the driver’s seat.

SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks won’t be a preseason division favorite like they were last season and have one of the nation’s toughest in-league road schedules this fall. Rather than mention difficult two or three-stretches, just splitting games away from Williams-Brice Stadium will be a challenge. South Carolina goes to Mizzou, Georgia, Texas A&M and Tennessee and won’t likely be favored in any of those contests.

TENNESSEE: Tennessee’s late-season slate is manageable if the Vols can get to the ‘Alabama Game’ on Oct. 24 still in one piece. After a sleeper against Western Carolina on Sept. 19, Tennessee battles Florida, Arkansas and Georgia in consecutive weeks. Getting past that stretch unscathed may not be realistic, but it’s possible with the talent the Vols have returning.

TEXAS A&M: If the Aggies can get to their bye week 5-0 including wins over Arkansas and Mississippi State, Kevin Sumlin’s team will be ranked in the Top 10 with sizable expectations heading into a pivotal home game with Alabama on Oct. 17. That matchup is followed by three straight games against SEC teams — at Ole Miss, vs. South Carolina, vs. Auburn — before a breather courtesy of Western Carolina.

VANDERBILT: There’s a well-balanced schedule for the Commodores in Derek Mason’s second season, but it may not translate to the end goal — bowl eligibility. Getting to six wins will be next to impossible if Vanderbilt doesn’t have at least three by the bye week in early October. Over the final seven games, the Commodores could face as many as four ranked teams and will only be favored in two — at the most — the rest of the way.
