Per the article announcing the game (http://www.gostanford.com/news/2017/5/23...unced.aspx), there are still non-conference openings in 2020 (@ ND on 10/10, vs. BYU on 11/28), 2022 (@ ND on 10/15, vs. BYU on 11/26), and 2023 (@ BYU on 9/2, vs. ND on 11/25) in the next few years.  If ensuring that third game is at home is paramount, we may be looking at more of these one-off games vs. marginal opponents, as Power 5 schools would want a home and away.  And given that 5 out of 6 of those BYU/ND games are in October or November, it looks like we'll have more early season byes in our future. 

Oh, and eric, it looks like SDSU plays Arizona State on Sept. 15, 2018, so no hope of shifting that game with Davis.
