It's Friday of Fourth of July weekend and I'm at the beach, but that won't stop me from bringing you the Afternoon Kickoff list for the week.

Today, it's my list of the top 10 college football stadiums I'd like to attend a game at but haven't yet. (Note: That means Penn State, Army, Navy, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin and the Rose Bowl are excluded from this list. Penn State, Army, Wisconsin and the Rose Bowl would probably all be included otherwise.)

1. Tiger Stadium - LSU (At night)
Known as Death Valley, the stadium is famous for the "Earthquake Game." The crowd reaction was so loud when LSU scored a game-winning touchdown against Auburn in 1988 that it registered on a seismograph. Penn State loves its night games at Beaver Stadium, and the other stadium most known for rocking at night is Tiger Stadium.

2. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium - Florida
One of a few on this list that I've seen in person but haven't been to a game at. The Swamp is without question one of the most intimidating environments in football, and its unique architecture makes it stand out like so many college stadiums do when compared to the cookie cutter NFL stadiums.

3. Memorial Stadium - Clemson
The Clemson campus is very similar to Penn State's: sprawling and in the middle of nowhere. The fans are passionate and the other stadium nicknamed Death Valley is always hostile no matter how strong the Tigers are. The pregame tradition of the players touching Howard's Rock and running down the hill is one of the best in football.

4. Neyland Stadium - Tennessee
If you can stand hearing "Rocky Top" after every play, then Neyland Stadium is definitely a place to visit. The stadium is located next to the Tennessee River, where fans tailgate on boats. Running through the "T" is also one of the better field entrances.

5. Ohio Stadium - Ohio State
Just like Florida, I've been there -- but for a basketball game. The Horseshoe has only gotten louder since becoming more enclosed with recent expansion, and the "Dotting of the I" is probably the most famous pregame tradition in the country.

6. Notre Dame Stadium - Notre Dame
Like the Big House, the stadium itself doesn't appear like anything too special, but it's one of the most historic stadiums in the country with Fenway, Wrigley, Lambeau, etc. From Touchdown Jesus to the "Play Like a Champion Today" sign, history is everywhere in South Bend. Now if only they could cut the grass.

7. Kyle Field - Texas A&M
Home of the 12th Man, Kyle Field hasn't exactly been home a great football team as of late. But Aggies fans are still some of the best in the country, and this is simply incredible.

8. Memorial Stadium - Nebraska
Nebraska fans have always been known as some of the classiest around, and given that the Cornhuskers football team is the only big-time team in the state, football is a huge deal in Lincoln. Plus, this is pretty cool.

9. Lane Stadium - Virginia Tech
If there's one team that Penn State should set up a home-and-home with, it's Virginia Tech. The teams are close geographically and both are top programs, so it's a series that makes sense. Expansion has helped make the stadium more enclosed to keep the noise in, and it's another place that's even more intimidating at night.

10. Folsom Field - Colorado
Probably the biggest wild card on this list, Folsom Field isn't necessarily known for its noise level. But the scenery is incredible, and what's not to love about Ralphie the Buffalo leading the team onto the field?

Also considered: Jordan-Hare Stadium (Auburn), Doak Campbell Stadium (Florida State), Bryant-Denny Stadium (Alabama), Darryl K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (Texas), Autzen Stadium (Oregon), Husky Stadium (Washington).

Quick hits:
-ESPN's Pat Forde ranks the nation's current top 10 rivalries. A good list, and you don't see too many that are strictly current like this. Penn State-Ohio State checks in as the first under honorable mention.

-Set your DVRs, Rutgers and UCLA have set up a home-and-home series for... 2016 and 2017. Kudos to both for the unusual matchup, and it will be a big game for Greg Schiano -- will still probably be waiting for Joe Paterno to retire.

Wisconsin didn't make the above list because I've been there, so here's a clip of their end of the third quarter "Jump Around" tradition:
