The October slate isn't finished for Big East teams yet -- South Florida plays at Cincinnati on Thursday night -- but the league is about to enter its stretch run. Yes, every game from here on out is important because of how jumbled the conference race is. But these are the six November games that should have the biggest impact on who wins the Big East title (in chronological order):

• West Virginia at UConn, Nov. 1: Last year's co-champions will meet to see who has the leg up on tiebreakers this year.

• Louisville at Pittsburgh, Nov. 8: If the Cardinals are serious contenders, they'll have to win this tough road game.

• Pittsburgh at Cincinnati, Nov. 22: The Bearcats first have to survive a challenging four-game stretch that includes USF ths week, then on the road at West Virginia and Louisville before the Panthers come to Nippert.

• West Virginia at Louisville, Nov. 22: The three previous Big East meetings between these two have all been thrillers.

• UConn at South Florida, Nov. 23: The Bulls might only be playing spoiler at this point, but they're always tough to beat at home.

• West Virginia at Pittsburgh, Nov. 28: The Backyard Brawl could decide the BCS bid.
