Could this year be the last year that teams schedule easy blowout games?

I am sure it's been discussed here, but I have not been around much lately. Could this be the last year teams schedule multiple easy blowout games? Keyword being multiple
With Ohio state probably going undefeated with their joke of a schedule, do any of you see the playoff committee possibly taking a stand and excluding them from the playoffs? I feel like this could be the perfect opportunity for the playoff committee to change how college football games are scheduled in the future.
So if they did exclude Ohio state do you think it would change how schools schedule ooc games?
Could you see the committee purposefully leaving Ohio state out because of their schedule as an attempt to make a statement?

Want to compare Ohio State's OOC scheduling with other top ten teams?
Here is Ohio State's, let me know where it is weak:
2016: at Oklahoma
2017: Oklahoma
2018: at TCU, Oregon State
2019: TCU, Cincinnati
2020: at Oregon
2021: Oregon
2022: Notre Dame, at Texas
2023: at Notre Dame, Texas, Boston College

No, and Ohio St's schedule sucks because of how their conference schedule set up, not because of OOC scheduling

There is no chance this would happen. Preseason #1 is not going to be held out over a cakewalk schedule.

it's only week 2....

Solid attempt.

The debate is over strength of schedule, not strength of conference schedule. You left out 10+ games for each of those seasons

But they can't control what their conference schedule is

This. No one is bitching about their OOC as much. It's b/c their conference is weak period.

The OP is talking about games teams schedule, not conference games

If the power schools were to no longer schedule rent-a-wins (lesser FBS and all FCS schools), it would happen due to collusion.
Why? To kill off these smaller programs. To stop their growth. And most importantly, to cut off their hopes to ever truly compete for the FBS National Championship. Which cuts them out of the biggest of the big money to be made.

Ohio state schedules ooc well.
Meyer realizes its importanance because of how shitty the conference is ...
I do believe their pplayoff seeding will be impacted because of their lack of quality opponents although it doesn't matter that much

It should be. And the committee has proven from last year that it likely will.

Indeed.

Next year is at Oklahoma, at Wisconsin, at Penn State, at Sparty with Northwestern, Nebraska and Michigan at home. You can't make your opponents better but you also can't have a tougher in conference schedule in the B1G than that.
Ohio State also has scheduled not one but two P5 teams each season beginning in 2017 with Oklahoma at home and at North Carolina. Show me other P5 teams doing the same.
2017 Oklahoma, at UNC
2018 Oregon State, at TCU

If the Buckeyes win out, they will be there. No amount of crying about strength of schedule in week two will change that. I'm fine with a fourth seed. It didn't hurt them last year.

Ohio State is not getting left out if they win the big 10 and go undefeated, nor should they. I think it was a legit debate last year by mid season, but if you look how they finished (not counting playoffs) they probably accomplished more than Baylor or TCU.
If the Big 10 really tanks it could be debilitated but if they go undefeated with basically the same team as last year there is no way they are left out. Besides, OSU generally schedules OOC games pretty well. In the last 8 years or so I can think of home and homes with Texas, USC, VT, Miami. Those are certainly big names. At the time USC and Texas were unquestioned top 5 teams.
To the bigger point, eliminating "blowout games" could seriously harm college football as a whole. Sure, the P5 teams would be fine but I would hate to see a ton of situations like UAB where mid-majors or FCS teams just fold up shop. (I know they reinstated football but you get the point).

Can they help that? College football is constantly changing. Not that long ago, Ohio State was the SEC's whipping boy. They'd run through the Big 10 and just get absolutely demolished against SEC teams. Now...things have changed. They look like a SEC team. Hell, they look better than any SEC team.
Look at the top 25...Baylor at #4 - they are customarily one of the worst teams in the NCAA, TCU at #3 isn't too far off from Baylor, Michigan State (and not Michigan) at #5, UCLA and Ole Miss in the top #15. Things change.
In a few years from now we could potentially see Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Michigan in the top 10. Just enjoy the season. We haven't even kicked off week two yet...
