Hurricane Katrina forced the postponement of five NCAA football games, including Tulane vs. Southern Mississpippi at Hattiesburg and North Texas vs. LSU at Baton Rouge.

The Tulane vs. Southern Mississippi game that was supposed to be played this Sunday has been moved to the Saturday after Thanksgiving because of the damage caused by Katrina.

The North Texas vs. LSU game has not been rescheduled because the two teams don't share an off day until December 3rd. On that day, LSU could be playing in the SEC championship game. Luckily, Baton Rouge didn't suffer near the damage that New Orleans and Hattiesburg did.

Nicholls State's game at Utah State on Saturday has been canceled. Nicholls State is located in Thibodaux, La.
Also, Southern University's game Saturday at McNeese State in Lake Charles, La., has been canceled, and Jacksonville's game Thursday night at Hammond, which is between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, has been postponed indefinitely.
