This year has been filled with surprises in the SEC. Auburn, which was ranked No. 6 in the preseason AP Poll, has struggled all season. Last month, Steve Spurrier suddenly resigned at USC. Florida has thrived under first-year head coach Jim McElwain while Mark Richt’s future in Athens looks cloudy.

These are just a few of the storylines so far, and there are still four weeks left in the regular season.

November is shaping up to be a great month in the SEC. Here are 5 things to watch:

1. Alabama or LSU? While it isn’t definite that either team will make the CFB Playoff, it is probable that one of the two teams will represent the SEC in January. There are still 11 unbeaten teams in the country, so if LSU loses to Alabama next weekend, there is a chance that neither team will make the Playoff. But both teams have a shot. If the Tigers win out, they have nothing to worry about.

2. How good is Florida? Jim McElwain’s group keeps grinding under the radar. The Gators will lock down the SEC East with a win over Vanderbilt next week, and won’t face another major test until Nov. 28 when they play host to Florida State. If Florida wins the East, beats the Seminoles, and claims the SEC title, it will get a serious look from the CFB Playoff committee.

3. What will happen in Georgia? Mark Richt is now on the hot seat in Athens. After a questionable decision to start his third-string QB, who threw four picks but remained in the game against Florida, it is clear that Richt must turn things around quickly. The Bulldogs close the season against Kentucky, Auburn, Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech. Even if they win out, it may not be enough to save Richt’s job.

4. Is Kyler Murray the future? Kyler Murray looked like the long-term solution in College Station on Saturday. In the 35-28 win over USC, he finished 20-of-28 for 223 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. If Murray remains the starter, it will be interesting to see him against the tough LSU defense on Nov. 28.

5. What’s up with Tennessee? The Volunteers are on the rise. Tennessee lost in overtime to No. 14 Oklahoma, by one point to Florida and five points to Alabama. The Vols have a favorable schedule to close out the year with games against South Carolina, North Texas, Missouri and Vanderbilt. Tennessee should win these, play in an attractive bowl game and head into 2016 on a roll.
