A nationwide ground stop issued by the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday, Nov. 13, has left multiple college football programs scrambling to reach their destinations ahead of Saturday’s games. No. 11 Kentucky is expected to still host Florida tomorrow at 6:15 p.m. EST. The Gators arrived at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky, before the ground stop took effect. However, the status of several games with College Football Playoff implications remains uncertain, including two SEC matchups that could significantly impact Kentucky’s playoff positioning. No. 6 Texas and No. 8 Tennessee, both ranked ahead of the No. 11 Wildcats in the CFP rankings, have experienced travel disruptions ahead of their respective matchups against No. 21 LSU and Texas A&M, with both of the teams’ planes being grounded. As of now, the Longhorns have returned to campus, according to Pete Nakos of On3. Texas is set for a 7:30 p.m.
