If you like your pregame tailgate to include eggs, bacon, and sausage, this year’s Carolina/Clemson matchup in Columbia is for you. The SEC released a majority of its kickoff times for the 2025 season on Wednesday, with fans in the Palmetto State learning that the Tigers and Gamecocks will once again meet at high noon. The league has games starting as early as noon, with the latest kick in the SEC set for 8pm. The conference will also utilize a flex system, much like the NFL, that gives the perceived “better” games a shot to be moved into a more attractive kickoff time.
