Beyond that, Isaias will likely get pushed well inward over the Southeast,&#8221; according to The Weather Channel.<\/p>\n<p>That could include Tuscaloosa,\u00a0<a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Alabama<\/a>, where No. 2\u00a0<a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Georgia<\/a>\u00a0is scheduled to play No. 6 Alabama at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama, the winner of the last two regular-season contests against UGA, is a 1.5-point favorite.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like we do every week at this time, we&#8217;re keeping an eye on forecasts and staying in communication with schools with games that could be impacted by weather,&#8221; a SEC spokesperson told CBS Sports.<\/p>\n<p>There is expected to be greater clarity on the situation over the next 24 to 36 hours as the storm&#8217;s path becomes clearer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The SEC and the two affected schools could decide to move the game, although it is a very rare measure, used only in extreme circumstances. The last time the SEC moved a football game was in September 2022, when\u00a0<a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\">South Carolina<\/a>\u00a0moved up its Saturday game to Thursday, and Florida moved its game back a day to Sunday ahead of Hurricane Ian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With Saturday&#8217;s Alabama-Georgia game, there is also the added factor of President Donald Trump scheduled to attend. The president&#8217;s presence comes with heightened security measures, road restrictions and Secret Service agents throughout the stadium. President Trump attended the Texas-Tennessee game earlier this season and was last at Alabama for its 2024 game against Georgia.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The potential impact of Tropical Storm Isais on Saturday night&#8217;s scheduled clash between\u00a0Alabama\u00a0and\u00a0Georgia is something the SEC is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1020482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[930,331,7,450,49,48],"class_list":["post-1020481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-alabama-crimson-tide","tag-college-football","tag-football","tag-georgia-bulldogs","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117396040803173268","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1020482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
