This time around, however, I found myself thinking about how this bye week feels different.
As a fan, you selfishly never want a bye week. I wish they could play all 52 Saturdays of the year, if possible. Last year, the BBN was desperate and thankful for a bye week. This year, though, it seems like everyone is chomping at the bit to watch the good guys step between the white lines.
Last year, Mark Stoops and Kentucky went into the bye week with the same record they have now. 5-1. Kentucky only had one point separating them from a 6-0 start, eerily similar to the 2018 start.
