2019 will be a unique season with 2 byes for every team.

That's just a quirk of how the calendar works out with 5 Saturdays in November. If this same schedule happened in any other year, teams like BC and Duke probably would not elect to take their lone bye week in November.

Someone else suggested Clemson might do this in 2020. If they do, then they'll be taking it on Halloween, so unless they play a "week zero" game, then they'll have to play 8 consecutive weeks before their bye, with only 4 games remaining. Given how weak their schedule is, they might just do that but it won't be the ideal time for them to take a bye.
