Not anymore. With most conferences going to 9 or 10 games in a 12 game season the other two games will home and homes with other P5 conferences since there is a playoffs that will slowly expand to about 8 teams.
You may see less OOC games with mid-majors but you will never see a complete elimination of those games.
For instance most mid majors have no problem going to Tiger Stadium with no return date. Even with the occasional road trip to a mid major most or done with a 2 home/ 1 away type deal. Southern Miss went to Nebraska twice without a home game.
Most P5 schools will not play another school without it being home/away or neutral site. If LSU stopped playing mid-majors you would decrease the number of home games from 8 to 7 or 6 (or less). That is a significant loss of revenue that most school will not be willing to take.
On top of that there are plenty of 10-2, 9-3, 8-4 teams that have records severely propped up by weaker competition. Sure fans want to see better teams in their stadiums, but many would stop supporting teams if they started going 4-8, 5-7 or 6-6 every year, which is what would happen with a P5 only schedule.
Playing only P5 schools is a wonderful pipe dream but one that really isn't all that feasible.
