Seems like they offer no advantage, to say the least.

Not just no advantage but a disadvantage.

In 8 games, I believe (may have missed something) the 8 teams with a bye have scored a total of 6 first quarter points. 0 points in the four games this year I think (going off memory--did Indiana?)

The three points scored by Arizona State last year are the only points teams with a bye have scored in the first quarter in the eight games. Indiana scored a FG on the first or second play of the second quarter yesterday.
