And you missed the
in my reply.
Actually I like you, but personally could care less about the Buckeye's. Don't like or hate them. Like is reserved for teams I grew up with, and hate for their rivals, which Ohio St. isn't one of.
Remember, a couple years ago I argued Ohio St. deserved #1 going into the BCS final because they were the only team with a single loss. Still thought LSU was going to win, but argued Ohio St. deserved to be there.
I like bye weeks, it gives the teams and fans a break, especially if someone is having a Thursday game afterwards. Going from Saturday to the following Thursday can be brutal. A bye week also allows fun things like a Varsity/JV game, and other activies.
Who plays into the third week of December? Typically most conferences have their last games during Turkey weekend (which is a main reason they have a bye in the schedule, to make the first game around Labor Day and the last on Turkey weekend, back when we had an 11-game season, most teams had 2 bye weeks).
Conference Championship Games are the next weekend, which would be the first weekend of December
I put the blame on both of them, they've been gunning for each other since Daytona. NASCAR should bench both of them for the crap they've been doing this year. But a "feud" is good for ratings, so NASCAR won't do anything.
