I don't have a problem with FBS playing FCS

Don't get me wrong: I'm glad Notre Dame has avoided this near occasion of sin. But there are good FCS teams, and potential regional rivals, and it is often a windfall for them, too.

If Army wants to bag a few FCS teams every year, who cares?

But, to avoid the body-bag tendencies of the major conferences, the rule should be: If you play an FCS team, you are ineligible for the College Football Playoff. So a middling Iowa squad can easily give up futile national championship hopes to play a few easy wins, but Alabama? No, they would never schedule another one.
