Game Thread Bye Week: Ohio State vs. Boredom (Nov. 1, TBA)

[rocketman]

I guess I could get some yard work done or something.

But in all seriousness, extending the season a week, as well as the dreaded post-bye-week road game fear is upon us again.

 

[BUCKYLE]

Extending the season a week? Less time inbetween TSUN and the NC? Sounds good to me.

 

[jwinslow]

vbet?

vbet?

I'm going all in on boredom. Then, I'll keep myself entertained.

Since the Buckeyes won't be playing, here are other games of note on November 1st. The starting times are not yet known.

This is done as a public service, before anybody does something silly and plans some yardwork, weddings, or other things that should never occur on an Autumn Saturday afternoon or evening.

Big Ten
Wisconsin at Michigan State
TSUN at Purdue
Iowa at Illinois

SEC
Florida vs. Georgia (probably 2:30 Eastern -FKA/AKA World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party) - likely to decide a spot in the SEC CCG
Tennesee at South Carolina (Fulmer-Spurrier is usually entertaining)

ACC
Clemson at Boston College
Florida State at Ga. Tech
Miami at Virginia

Pac 10
Arizona State at Oregon State
Oregon at Cal
Washington at USC

Big 12
Nebraska at Oklahoma (this used to be a classic rivalry)
Texas at Texas Tech (Harrell bombing away at the 'Horns rebuilt secondary)
Colorado at aTm
Kansas State at Kansas

Other
Pitt at Ntre Ame (the 'stache vs. the "schematic advantage")

I'll make the early call that Wash upsets USC.

 

[cincibuck]

I'll make the early call that Wash upsets USC.

I don't see USC losing two games at home this coming season.

 

[buckiprof]

I don't see USC losing two games at home this coming season.

Are you saying this because Stanford is an away game?

 

[ytownbuckeye]

never heard of Bye week, but we'll kill them. Bucks by at least 34.

Sounds about right... I hear they were one of Notre Dame's biggest wins last season.

 

[DaytonBuck]

Pitt vs Notre Dame for the right to play in Meineke Car Care Bowl

 

[bukIpower]

I already hate this week...

Illinois has a shot here....

I'm a little upset that the Big Ten decided to take a bye week this season, This isn't a thing the confernce does regularly like the SEC or others. I believe having the physical and mental toughness to play 11 straight games is advantageous, but since tOSU should make at least a BCS Bowl this season, this is one step in helping the teams cut down the ridiculous wait, and I'm sick of hearing about Confernce Championship games.
