Other schools impacted include Florida, Florida State, and South Florida, who have all changed the times on their games in preparation for the storm.
Irma is one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded, matching the strength of Hurricane Allen in 1980 and Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Wilma is still the most intense Atlantic hurricane on record in terms of low pressure.
