It'll be well beyond Orlando at least 2-3 days before the game.
Katrina hit Louisiana almost a week before LSU's first game in 2005. If it hits, there will be a lot to deal with in the aftermath, so a game scheduled a few days later definitely could be affected.

Thats what I was thinking. Some of these other fools act like its completely beyond the realm of possibility.

Well this all depends on the strength. If it is a cat 1 then that won't be a big deal but if it makes it to a high 2 or a 3 then we are talking. Also with most hurricane it is the storm surge that causes the worst damage. That isn't really a problem in Orlando.

I remember when games being cancelled, moved or rescheduled due to weather were very rare. There were usually none in an entire season and only occasionally maybe one or two.
Since 2005, they have become much more common. From 1971 through 2004, I don't think LSU ever had a game rescheduled, moved or cancelled due to weather. I think the last one had been the Florida game in 1964. In 2005, we had three. Since then, we've had at least three more, including two last year. And that's just one school, and doesn't even count games with significant weather delays that didn't end in cancellation or postponement.
Other schools also seemed almost never to have any. I remember an Alabama-Texas A&M game being rescheduled back in the '80s or '90s because of a hurricane, and seem to recall a Miami-UCLA game in the late '90s or early 2000s rescheduled for the same reason, but that's about it. Now, it seems uncommon to get through the first month of football season without at least one game somewhere being rescheduled, cancelled or moved because of weather, and to have a whole season without one seems almost unheard of. What used to be the exception is now apparently the rule. Even this year, although a disruption seems unlikely right now, Baton Rouge isn't out of the woods yet for our week 2 game versus Jacksonville State.
So, I guess to answer the OP, apparently it's bound to happen to a game somewhere in the first few weeks of the season, so that one seems as likely a candidate as any.

We didn't listen!!!

The tropics are heating up. Invest 99L may become a hurricane and strike Florida. If it hits close to Orlando...is there a possibility that the game will be moved to Oxford?

Few things to say Katrina hit Mississippi a lot harder then Louisiana. I believe it was Rita that came and did more damage to the area. If the walls don't fail on levees in Nola no one would even remember Katrina over there except down south and in Slidell area. Now onto it not being big heck did y'all not see what just happened in la from just a tropical rain storm. One of the worst storms ever to hit was Allison I believe the name of it was in the Houston area and it was a tropical storm cause it moved so slow. But onto the game. The game will not be moved because of the storm. Storm will be coming through the the area Sunday more then likely and most models show it being towards the south aroind Miami or going up the east coast. I just hope it doesn't hit here and makes me lose tv since I can't make the game and won't be able to watch it or any college football that weekend actually.
