This is true.
There are 130 FBS football teams.
65 teams in the P5.
That leaves 65 teams not in a major conference.

The Big Ten, Pac-12, Big 12 play 9 conference games. Those 42 teams only have 126 nonconference slots.

The SEC and ACC play 8 conference games. Those 28 teams have 112 nonconference slots.

The G5 need the P5 for nonconference games.
Syracuse can find G5 teams that need home games from P5 teams and find good 2 for 1s.
NC State bailed on Central Michigan that is how we stepped in played them on the road in 2014 when they needed a home game and got the 2 for 1.

Good schedulers would find these type of schools and negotiate good deals.
We do things poorly as far scheduling goes.
I swear I could train someone to meet with the HC find out what they want and do this.
I give Wildhack credit he has done a good job overall and we have a lot of 7 home game seasons coming up.
The Liberty series helped that a lot.
The Nd home game from the ACC rotation helped as well.

The UConn 2 for 2 was a bad deal.
