Since opening the season against BYU in 2011, Ole Miss has had a home and home with Texas, played (and beat) a Boise State in the Cfa Kickoff game (Boise was the team that WON the Fiesta Bowl and finished ranked 16), and opened last year against #4 Florida State in what was essentially a home game for them. They'll also open next year at NRG in Houston against Texas Tech, so Ole Miss is at least trying to schedule big time OOC games. The home and home with Cal isn't great, but at least they're actually P5, plus they did kinda produce the #1 overall pick just one draft cycle ago...
Of the teams you mentioned, only FSU is a modern football power. So the rest are no different than BYU. BYU is just an Independent like ND. In fact, BYU is 4-2 vs Texas and Boise State since 2013.

Texas was ranked both times we played them, and Boise won a NY6 bowl the year we beat them, while finishing at 16 in the major polls. You could argue the asswhooping Ole Miss put on Texas at DKR was one of the final nails in Mack Brown's coffin too, but I guess the school with the biggest athletic budget in the world isn't worth scheduling when you can get the Stormin' Mormons. Likewise, BYU has finished in the top 25 exactly once in the 2010s, at 25 in 2011, but I guess they're all the same ¯\_(

When was the last time State scheduled an OOC team that ultimately played in a BCS/NY6 bowl, much less won one?
