Every team with a bye lost so far. Is a Bye a disadvantage?

Yes. It appears like the easier path, but far more rust.

Yes too big of break. Getting a home game is the biggest advantage and a bye

2/3 were far less talented

But all 3 had really slow starts. Very possible the layoff was detrimental.

Penn State and Texas have played in tons of huge games this year already

Well, in the case of BSU and ASU, they were the lower-ranked team

I don’t know. So it was a mild upset at best.

It wasn’t an upset. Only by seed was it an upset

Okay. I feel my overall point still stands

You don’t think the buckeyes were salivating after their loss to them earlier?

Sure, that could’ve very well been the main factor.

All three teams with the byes were underdogs. The better teams won. It’s no mystery.

Every team w a bye made it past the bye week. 1/2 the teams who played didn't.
