i don't get how it can be hard to schedule. other schools do it-so why can't they?

Every year, Alabama has to play LSU, Arkansas, Auburn, and a couple of teams from the other side of the conference that are usually top 15 teams. Their conference schedule is very tough. Same thing for a Big 12 team. They don't want to add another tough game by adding Boise. They will play them in a game like the kickoff game because it's a neutral field game. They won't schedule a home and home with Boise. Boise can get some games against them but it always has to be on the road. So what do you do if you Boise? Do you schedule at Bama, at Oregon, at Texas, etc. every year and come out with 2-3 losses or do you keep doing what you're doing and winning 12-13 games a year, having a great shot at getting a BCS bid, and if things shake out right, being in the title hunt every year?
