All the major college football games potentially affected by Hurricane Florence (Featured)

Hurricane Florence is on her way to the East Coast, engulfing the Carolinas, with affected areas stretching north to Detroit and as far inland as the metro Nashville area.

Originally a Category 4, Florence has been downgraded to a Cat 2 storm.

Florence is expected to reach the coast early Friday morning, which brings a number of scheduled games into question. Evacuations have already been ordered for the South Carolina coast, while Coastal Carolina and East Carolina has canceled classes from Tuesday through the end of the week.

With that in mind, here are all scheduled Division I games for the affected states. (All times Eastern, and all games slated for Saturday unless otherwise noted.)

Additionally, Duke is set to visit Baylor on Saturday. As we saw last year, impending storms can also cause travel issues with visiting teams, when Hurricane Irma forced the cancelation of Miami's trip to Arkansas State.

On top of that, major rainfall is possibility from Georgia up through the rest of the East Coast, and as far inland as Kentucky and northeast Ohio.

As possible cancellations or disruptions roll in, we'll update this page and The Scoop.
