Fans roast SEC's bizarre flex scheduling of Texas A&M football vs. LSU

SEC's wacky flex scheduling strikes again: Texas A&M football vs. LSU given three separate possibilities for kick times

Texas A&M football's upcoming game against LSU is set to be one of the most consequential games left on the schedule for the SEC conference title. The Aggies and Tigers are two of the last three teams with an undefeated conference record—though both faltered in openers to non-conference opponents, it's games against SEC teams that is the first determining factor in who goes to Atlanta.

With that in mind, you'd think next Saturday's showdown would take top billing over games like Texas at Vanderbilt or Alabama against Missouri. Instead, we have a reappearance of the dreaded flex schedule option.

Sometimes, as you peruse the upcoming TV schedule, you'll see a big fat "OR" slapped on the game time, giving the networks the option to move around a game's kick time given outcomes a week prior to the game in question. In this case, I suppose they're waiting to see whether the Aggies or Tigers—or both—lose their games this weekend against Mississippi State and Arkansas, respectively.

In this case, LSU's huge game against Texas A&M football will be played at either 2:30 PM CT, 3:15 PM CT... or 6:30 PM CT. And it will either be on ABC or the SEC Network.

Make sense?

Fans were quick to roast this bizarre three-way flex scheduling option that the SEC has contrived.

You'd think that getting an exclusive TV contract with one family of networks would avoid all of this indecision as regards game time, but I guess not!

Hopefully, for Texas A&M football's sake, the Aggies get the night slot. A primetime evening game against LSU will be absolute cinema at Kyle Field—especially considering the Ags are slated to wear their new black alternate uniforms during that game.
