****WARNING: AMATEUR SPORTS OPINION TO FOLLOW****
The “Bye” week.
Purists will argue that a “bye” only applies in playoff-type competitions and that football seasons qualify for an “open” or “off” week.
Screw purists (unless they support something I support, then purists rock).
While all fans will note that no team has EVER lost to the “bye” week, I would argue that we should look at this with a slightly different lens, and Oklahoma State is perfectly positioned for this introspective examination.
Bye weeks, above all else, are momentum busters.
