Key Points:

  • Hurricane Isaias, a Category 3 storm, has made landfall along the Gulf Coast and is expected to impact several college football games scheduled for Saturday, with potential delays and weather-related challenges.
  • The marquee game between No. 2 Georgia and No. 7 Alabama in Tuscaloosa remains on schedule for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff, with meteorologists predicting minimal impact from the storm by game time despite early morning wind gusts causing power outage concerns.
  • Other games along the hurricane's path, including Duke vs. Georgia Tech and LSU vs. Kentucky, remain scheduled but with advisories for rain gear and some event cancellations or rescheduling, such as Kentucky's halftime drone show being postponed.
  • Georgia Southern vs. James Madison is considered the most at-risk game due to severe weather threats including possible tornadoes, though kickoff remains scheduled with ongoing safety evaluations and parking lots opening as planned.
  • Alabama A&M moved its game against Bethune-Cookman up to 1 p.m. ET to avoid worsening weather conditions later in the day, reflecting adjustments made by some programs to mitigate the storm's impact.
