Gotta get more viewers I guess. Just keep winning. Control what you can.

So all the byes go to SEC and Big10? Just great…. How about we just go to 16 teams and there are no byes.

This makes the most sense. Means BYU would probably need a #9 ranking

Texas is a 2 TD favorite today, so by odds ASU has a 13% chance to pull an upset

Not one good thing in your life (away from a message board) happens if ASU wins. Hook 'em.

Xenon

After what happened on Bourbon St I might be a little hesitant to go to the game

ATX

Some people are evil and some people just want to see the world burn. They have no moral compass.

John Doe

I agree. I’d still go but it would make me hesitant. But yes we can’t let fear

Will BYU’s bye next year only be September 13? Or will we have another bye

brazilcoug

9:36am

We will likely have a conference game September 13th

rcbyufan

9:38am

I predict sep 13 will be an early B12 conf game

Crazy Joe Davola

9:38am

@Colorado, TCU, or UCF are open. I’d rather get the road game out of the way.

shimmy

9:50am

Agree. @Colorado early while they are still figuring out a new QB

Crazy Joe Davola

9:58am

But to answer your question, the calendar indicates next year is a 2 bye year

rcbyufan

9:40am

It is dictated on # of Saturdays between Labor day and Thanksgiving

rcbyufan

Overall I think two byes is great. Sucks as a fan but helps the players heal.

Of course not. Don’t forget about the one the week of Dec. 20th!
