No Bye Week For Gophs?

[maliksealy]

I was just scrolling through the Gophers schedule this season and noticed they had no bye week. I know this happened to them a couple years ago as well. Considering how they seemed to wear out last year in a lot of positions, is this something to be concerned about?

The only Big Ten teams I found with bye weeks this year are Wisconsin and Illinois. I'd guess it has to do with Labor Day being a little later this year.

Bye week equals NC team during the Big Ten season

This is the last year the Big Ten's last week is before Thanksgiving.

Next year the bye week is after game 11, before the Iowa game the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

this is going to be sooooo huge when playing iowa from now on

having to play your two border rivals back to back every year has been the joke of the century

last years 55-0 was a product of laying evry single thing we had on the line for wisconsin and nothing left the next week

we will play iowa a lot tougher from here on out

The bye week will rotate from year to year, so it won't always fall before we play Iowa. Example: in 2011, the bye week is actually the first week of conference play, October 1st.
