We’ve hit the part in the season that we all hoped wouldn’t occur but knew we couldn’t avoid – postponement of big games because of COVID-19. Though we will give the benefit of the doubt to the participating college football teams of operating under protocol, some things just cannot be avoided. The games below have been postponed because of positive coronavirus cases:

• No. 8 Cincinnati at Tulsa.
• No. 7 Oklahoma State at Baylor.
• LSU at No. 10 Florida.
• Coastal Carolina at No. 21 Louisiana.

Despite the temporary cancellation of the games featuring top 25 teams, we still have a list of attractive matchups featuring high-level 2021 NFL Draft prospects starting at noon on Saturday.
