UNDATED (AP) — Hurricane Isaias could make landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast this weekend, just before a major college football game between Georgia and Alabama. President Trump plans to attend the game on Saturday night. Isaias strengthened into a hurricane late Wednesday, and forecasters say it could make landfall late Friday or early Saturday somewhere along the Alabama-Mississippi-Florida coastlines The storm might cause schools to cancel or move games. Georgia and Alabama have not disclosed backup plans for the game. The storm could bring flash floods, dangerous winds, and heavy rain. Alabama meteorologist James Spann suggests moving the game to Sunday night.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Georgia and Alabama remain unbeaten in the Southeastern Conference, continuing a long-standing rivalry. The two teams meet Saturday night, marking their eighth clash in seven years. Georgia coach Kirby Smart highlights the significance of these matchups, which often have championship implications. The winner gains an edge in the College Football Playoff race, while the loser may face a rematch in the SEC title game. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer acknowledges Georgia as their toughest challenge yet. Both teams boast strong offenses, with Georgia averaging 51.4 points per game and Alabama 49.6. President Trump plans to attend the game.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Jon Sumrall received an apology text from running back Jadan Baugh after a tough loss to Missouri. The Gators were beaten in every phase, dropping them to No. 16 in the AP Top 25 poll. Sumrall’s message to the team is to move on and learn from adversity. Florida, now 4-1, hosts South Carolina on Saturday, aiming to fix issues on both sides of the ball. Baugh struggled against Missouri, and the team missed key players due to injuries. Defensive coordinator Brad White emphasizes a more aggressive mentality. Players insist things will look different against the Gamecocks.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Even before his viral in-game celebration against Tennessee, Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons was making a name for himself as one of the best defensive players in college football. Simmons’ vulgar antics drew a penalty and a loud rebuke online. And it ultimately prompted an apology from the Texas athletic director to the fanbase over the whole episode. But the sack celebration was just one moment in a day when Simmons evolved into a bona fide game wrecker for the No. 1 Longhorns. Now the Oklahoma Sooners have to try to figure out how to stop him on Saturday in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

UNDATED (AP) — No. 2 Georgia at No. 6 Alabama and No. 21 UCLA at No. 13 Oregon are the top games in Week 6 of the college football season. The stakes have been high whenever the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide meet the last dozen or so years and this year is no different. This is only the fourth regular-season game between the teams since 2007. Seven other meetings were at neutral sites for SEC or national championship games. UCLA is 4-0 in Bob Chesney’s first season. The Bruins have one more win than a year ago.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Top-ranked Texas and Oklahoma square off in their annual rivalry bringing two of the most talented, dominant defenses in the country to the Cotton Bowl. They will need them. The Longhorns and Sooners have struggled and sputtered through long stretches behind offenses that were expected to deliver much more punch than the penalties and blooper-reel turnovers they have so far. Texas quarterback Arch Manning has been inconsistent and Oklahoma’s John Mateer has had a rash of turnovers. Both have been sacked at least 10 times.

UNDATED (AP) — Gunner Stockton has been one of the most productive quarterbacks this season, boasting a 75.5 completion percentage and 13 touchdowns while largely taking care of the ball. Despite impressive stats, an unbeaten record and career-high marks, the second-year starting quarterback often goes unnoticed in national conversations. On Saturday, Georgia faces Alabama in a game that often carries playoff implications. Stockton is 1-1 against Alabama, losing the regular-season matchup last year before winning the SEC championship game. Alabama’s defensive coordinator praises Stockton’s efficiency and decisiveness. Georgia coach Kirby Smart and player express support for Stockton’s abilities and leadership ahead of the matchup.

UNDATED (AP) — Missouri freshman offensive tackle Johnnie “DJ” Jones needs a heart transplant and is hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Coach Eli Drinkwitz revealed the news about Jones during an emotional news conference on Tuesday. He says Missouri staff initially detected an issue with Jones’ heart over the summer during freshman intake testing. Jones later got a second opinion from the Mayo Clinic, where doctors detected a much more serious heart problem. Drinkwitz is urging Mizzou fans to pray for Jones, saying the team wasn’t prepared for that kind of news.…Read more by AP
