The first bye week of the 2026 season has arrived, folks.

Though Penn State football has been struggling, nothing beats waking up Saturday morning knowing you have a full day of tailgating and rooting for the Nittany Lions.

Whether you miss watching football, are reminiscing about previous years, or just need to pass the time, we’ve got you covered with the perfect bye week playlist to get you through the weekend.

If you think this losing season makes “No Sense”, miss “The One That Got Away” from the past, or you’re just “Lost In Yesterday,” this playlist is perfect for you.

Hopefully you will stare at the ceiling, either getting over the losses or just accepting that it is what it is. If you can get through the heartbreaks that Penn State football brings, you can certainly get through the bye week. And, hey, maybe the break is actually just what you needed.

Either way, enjoy the music, enjoy the fall weather, and have some fun! Have a great bye week, folks.
