The SEC has seen its season interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic for the first time this season with two games already getting postponed and Alabama coach Nick Saban testing positive.

We also discuss the five games to watch this weekend, including #3 Georgia at #2 Alabama.

We also look at the latest in COVID-19 issues, including at least one Top 25 team having to postpone this weekend.  And we look ahead to the weekend, with two Top 25 matchups and a couple other intriguing battles, including, but not limited to: #23 Kentucky at #8 Auburn - Noon #24 Louisville at #21 Pittsburgh - Noon Florida State at #12 Miami - 7:30 p.m. (ABC) #13 UCF at East Carolina - Noon (ABC) #22 Army at #14 Cincinnati

We talk about the Big Ten decision and how it affects the college football world and wonder about the Pac-12 and its potential return. And is college football working with COVID-19? Four Top 25 teams aren't playing this weekend because of postponed games and the schedule each week is an ever-changing puzzle.  Missouri is down 12 players, Florida has been infected and LSU says most of its team has had it.  We also look ahead to a watered down weekend of just one Top 25 game: #17 Miami at #18 Louisville.
