I have said it for years. They should eliminate P5 and now P4 schools from playing FCS schools. Does anybody want to see RU and Howard or IU and Howard or Oregon and Port St. But the playoff doesnt reward you for playing a tough schedule. Win all of your games and you are in

Indiana’s OOC schedule is probably as weak as RUs. I know these schedules are made well in advance, but IU is going to get a lot of flak for such a bad OOC schedule for a defending NC.

That is a low blow. IU's schedule is weaker than Rutgers, and let's not forget Nebraska is leading the pack.
