What you're saying is, it should be written.

I disagree.  I don't like punishing the kids who play for group of five teams or the fans for scheduling decisions that were made five or ten years ago.  You say they need to schedule tougher out of conference games. I think they are trying. but it takes two to tango and the other side has no incentive to tango.

Punishing the kids who play for group of five?

If they were better, they'd play for a better school and have a better shot.

The fans?! Really, punishing the fans? Give me a break.
I say the weaker power 5 conferences should schedule harder out of conference games, like when Michigan, USC, and FSU all decided to open vs Bama in recent years. And Oregon opened with Auburn. There are plenty of takers out there. Hell UF's AD recently took to Twitter to try and drum up some interest in those types of games.
And power 5 conferences should be forced to play more conference games.
1 cupcake (FCS) per schedule max.

And those at large or other 5 conferences, can make up the money in the bowl games. Which is all those bowl games are really about anyway.
When BYU goes undefeated they deserve a shot at the playoff, they deserve an outback bowl vs Mich St.
