Multiple teams had byes before playing Alabama. He complained publicly and the SEC changed the policy. Now LSU and Alabama have a bye before playing each other.

With that said, I don’t think it is worth complaining about VT, BC, or Duke. If ND had a savvy AD, he would work behind the scenes to make sure this isn’t a recurring practice. I’ll be irritated if Clemson has a bye before they visit ND. IIRC, they were off before ND played there in 2015.
