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.

I don't understand.
BYU would deserve a playoff game? Or they deserve a spot in the outback bowl? Or are you saying that the outback bowl should be a playoff game?

Sorry, typo. When BYU goes undefeated they don't deserve a shot at the playoff.
But they do deserve a decent bowl game.

If UCF or BYU play in a real conference, and go undefeated, they'd be a shoe in for the playoff.
It's simple.

Why are you sure they would get blown out?
What about UCF's win in 2017? What about Utah's win in 2008?

Because ND went undefeated in 2012 and proved they didn't deserve their spot in the natty. And they were better than the UCF team and Utah team you point to.
And often when a really good BIG10 or SEC team misses playoff or BCS, they don't quite show up for their consolation bowl game.
Bama misses the natty, they mail it in for the sugar bowl, cuz no one cares about those games except the people making money from them (and stupid fans that think a sugar bowl or citrus bowl win means something)
