Was it really dumb for conferences to schedule bye weeks with covid postponements. It really seems like it.

I understand the incentive for TV purposes (especially during stretch when B10 and P12 not playing). From a practical standpoint, bye weeks should've been placed at the end of the schedule to allow flexibility for make-up games, if needed.

That’s exactly why they were placed throughout the season.

If not for Baylor being the pain in the a$$ that they are, I think Okie State would be #5 over Ohio State giving us a shot at another top 5 win. Assuming Okie State would have beaten Baylor, which is a fairly safe assumption. I just like pointing out different ways that Baylor sucks and has screwed the conference over.

Gameday should be either our game or Cinci vs SMU, but it will probably be either OSU vs Nebraska or Michigan vs Minnesota. ESPN is way behind on their quota for Big 10 coverage and have some catching up to do according to Herbstreit.

It's Little Brown Jug for GameDay. (This doesn't surprise me given current landscape).

ESPN headed to Minnesota for GameDay
