Philosophy Faculties with a Continental Focus in the South?

That’s likely because a continental vs. analytical divide is a bit too narrow for an undergraduate to be worrying about at this stage. You need exposure to a good foundation in philosophy and philosophical thought and theory; thinking about continental vs. analytic is something that graduate students seeking a PhD program begin to think about. That’s why you’re not going to find much information about liberal arts colleges, since only PhD programs are really characterized as “continental” or “analytic” and that’s primarily because of the scholarship coming out of them.

Not to mention that there are so many other factors about your undergraduate degree that are important - you’ll only take about 1/3 of your classes in philosophy, and most of them will be basic classes in which continental vs. analytic may not make a great deal of difference. The list of names you’ve been given comes straight from the list of PhD programs that are classified as more continental, but that doesn’t mean those places are the best place for you.

It’s not really baffling…historically speaking, analytic philosophy grew up in the English-speaking world in the 20th century. In fact, the term ‘continental philosophy’ was actually popularized by analytic philosophers in the English-speaking world to describe the style of philosophy mostly taught in French, German, and other non-English speaking European countries.
