The Buckeyes once again find themselves with an unusual bye week. While it’s not an annual occurrence, it does seem to happen frequently for the conference’s major revenue generator. Given Ohio State’s substantial contributions to the B1G, one might expect them to receive more favorable bye weeks.
In 2024, the bye week falls in week 3, sandwiched between the Western Michigan and Marshall matchups. This timing is crucial for building team momentum. Although there’s another bye in mid-October, many coaches may prefer a single break in early November, especially considering the extended Playoff. The season is shaping up to be an endurance test, resembling a war of attrition.
