I happened to notice that in the Big South every team is playing a home game out of their bye week this season. Any thoughts on if that just some random thing or if teams may have a preference for playing home or away after a week off?

No idea. Valid question.
I looked back at Bison schedules through 2004. 3 of the 10 games after bye weeks were away games. 7 of the 10 were home games. That does not suggest a strong preference either way by Gene Taylor, et al.
To imabison's point, we did win all three away games (@ Minnesota '11, @ ISU Blue '09 and @ Nicholls State '04).
57% of FCS games coming out of a bye this season will be road games, 41% home, 2% neutral site.
