In fairness, the big dogs non-conference schedule is made five years in advance. A big dog is not going to waste a non in-state game for a team that they do not know if they will be legit in five years. BSU will only be sound if they either get into a strong conference and Peterson stays. BYU had the exact same type of run, now they are back to being a bottom feeder in the overall scheme of college football. If that was on Ohio State, Alabama or Texas schedule, everyone would complain about it.

Would I want to see Bama schedule BSU? Yes, if they played next year. But knowing the game won't take place for another five years, it does not hold the same appeal

Why not take a chance. If they are still good, then you have a high profile, nationally televised game. If they are not, then the team has a patsy on their schedule and an easy W. Every single team in college football has an supposed easy W on their schedule. College football in the regular season is by far the best sporting event to watch but without a playoff system, the bowls take a backseat to the NCAA tourney in basketball.
