There has been a lot of talk this year about “maybe having a bye in the CFP isn’t a good thing because the 5 and 6 seed have an easier path” And while that debate rages on we won’t find out if that is true or not until the quarterfinals are played New Years Day. While people will continue to debate whether it is better to be a 1 or 2 seed with a bye or a a 5 or 6 seed with a so called easier opponent today I wanted to stop looking at how the rest of college football feels about this and look inwards at how the Ducks have performed after a bye week or going into a bowl game under Dan Lanning.
