Article discussing why most teams/conferences will have 2 bye weeks next season. Main reason is due to way the calendar falls next year:

Before this was released and we had only our 3 non-conf games scheduled, I noticed Week 2 having nothing and wondered if they'd start conf play that early or if it would be a bye.
Without looking at the other teams schedules, I would guess there could still be a possibility games are moved into BYE weeks if necessary (better TV?).
Pretty good schedule. I see we are back to the old Big 12 days of playing OU and Texas back-to-back....
It'll be nice to go through all of our non-cons before starting conference play.
Yeah, but thankfully the program is in position to compete with those teams now.
Any bets on whether or not Texas gets that game moved to week 2. To put on the Longhorn Network. And moved to Austin?
With the struggles we have had during the first few weeks this year, I'm okay with a very early bye for next year as we get our act together. And I like having another in November for fine-tuning and healing.
I had wondered that as well.
Would love to drop say... KSU in that slot instead of having a november 30 game.
The schedule is missing the game on December 7th!

Something tells me that West Virginia will be welcoming us with open arms next year.
The OU game has potential Thursday/Friday night game potential. Both teams have a bye the week before. I can’t recall what the rules are with that and if the home team has to agree or if it exclusively ESPN’s decision.
Nothing gets your act together like games. Flipping the bye and the ULM game would have been better, but oh well.

That's unprofessional!
Speaking of the hawks, curious which team would be viewed to have the scheduling advantage before that game
ISU with UNI, bye, Cy-hawk
or
Iowa with Miami (OH), Rutgers, Cy-Hawk.
Speculation in the recent thread about College GameDay coming to Ames is down to these:
Oct. 5 TCU
Oct. 26 Oklahoma State
Nov. 16 Texas
---> I know the CyHawk game would be a possibility, but I hope it isn't wasted on that. I have nothing against the rivalry series itself, I just don't want to share the spotlight.

Two sets of consecutive home games, you say?
I guess I am coming back twice next season!
maybe they'll rush the field after they loseSomething tells me that West Virginia will be welcoming us with open arms next year.
Definitely the latter imo. Improving is an iterative process and having two games is better than one.
