re: Big Ten wants to eliminate FCS opponents

Until teams are not punished for playing a good team and losing, the OOC games will continue as is, and understandably.
Was Mississippi State, TCU, or Baylor really punished by playing a collective shitty non conference schedule? Not really.
Imagine if any of those 3 had played, and lost to a Michigan State like team? None of them would have been considered to be in the playoffs.
The cure for a quality OOC schedule across the country would be to guarantee conference champions (of the power 5) to be included in a 8 team playoff.
That way, teams may play a quality OOC, get experience, and still could afford to make the playoffs.

Yeah, to get this thread back on track...completely eliminating OOC games vs FCS and "cupcake" teams is a bad idea IMHO. I'd go for either less games vs such teams, or not counting wins against both FCS and non-power 5 teams for the purpose of playoff seeding.
