Hurricane Irma's projected path through Florida has already impacted one Miami Hurricanes football game.
It could now be putting its biggest rivalry game in jeopardy, too.
Florida State announced on Saturday afternoon that with the recent westward shift in Irma's projected path, the school was closing of all of its campuses through Sept. 15.
That would make it highly unlikely that No. 16 Miami's game at No. 10 FSU would be played as scheduled on Sept. 16 in Tallahassee.
Though the ACC has not made an announcement on any potential postponement or cancellation, a source told the Orlando Sentinel a decision to cancel could come as early as Sunday.

If the game _ which was scheduled to be the ACC opener for both schools _ is postponed, it could very well be moved to Oct. 7.
Both Miami and Florida State have open dates that weekend, making it an easier target date for rescheduling.
While neither school has made an official statement on the game's status yet, one of Miami's assistant coaches hinted on Friday he didn't expect the game to be played as scheduled.
"It will just about take a miracle for there to be football in this state NEXT weekend let alone this one," Hurricanes defensive coordinator Manny Diaz wrote on Twitter in response to college football analyst Brett McMurphy, who was one of several critics of Miami's decision to cancel its Sept. 9 game at Arkansas State.
McMurphy called for the two schools to try and reschedule that game, something Miami athletic director Blake James said was difficult to do because the two schools did not share an open date.
The Hurricanes and Seminoles do share an open date, however, which could work in the schools' favor. The two schools have played 61 times, meeting annually every year since 1969.
If the game against FSU is canceled or postponed, Miami would not be scheduled to play again until its Sept. 23 home game against Toledo.

That will be three weeks after Miami's season-opening 41-13 win over Bethune-Cookman on Sept. 2. The Hurricanes also haven't practiced since Tuesday, with James saying earlier this week the team would not return to work until after conditions were safe after Irma's passing.
Miami's campus has been closed since Wednesday because of the storm's approach.
