Lots of Parity
- Thread starter Antwill
- Start date
18 team conference……there will be a slug of teams in the 5-7 to 7-5 records range. Finishing in top 1/3 will be very respectable
Well the OP was on track in a way. I see lots of Parody in the officiating each week. They try to be referees but are really a bunch of clowns!
Not seeing this parity other than in the non-top tier teams. I see the same too 3 teams, maybe 4 and then a bunch of mish mosh.
Not me, no way. I HATE that we lost that totally winnable game, and they're running around with a rank# because we messed up. That was not parity, it was just more bad luck and bad plays. They got the W, but not deserved by parity or anything. This 20 year ditch is something we absolutely have to break out of. Let luck turn against Bama or Mich for a change. It did against FSU & Florida (but Miami is back, crud!). Ill makes me ill.
Who is the best team right now? Everyone wrecking on the lack of parity, bama, Georgia, Clemson, Oregon, Michigan, tenn, Oklahoma, Penn state are all suspect. We have a lot of teams losing to teams that turn around and don’t look great. I think no one is great right now and people seem to think that every team is static, which is far from true. There is a lot of week to week variability for each team and outcomes are very match up specific. Everyone wants a simple “good” or “bad” designation. The truth isn’t that simple
This is why I do not care about the outcomes between common or future opponents. Until Nebraska and whichever team you think they’ll lose to locks horns, you really don’t know.
Side note: specific to the BIG, nobody who has gone on the road across two time zones has won. Perhaps PSU and OSU will break that trend this evening.

PSU just put that to rest. I’m thinking OSU will win tonight as well.
Penn State is easily beatable.
They supposedly have 2 stud RBs and can't run the football. QB is a supposed stud, yet they can only get 44 open at TE.
Not scared of Penn State at all.
Cross-country travel schedules, and playing better in conference opponents is going to make it harder to keep a clean record. Not that you need a perfectly clean record to make the playoffs anymore either.
I tend to agree there is no best team right now. If Texas puts one on GA Saturday, it would be clear they may be the best out there. We're going through a phase now where even the top QB's are turning the ball over.
If a team can't throw the ball, Bama, OU, Michigan, they're gonna get bounced a couple more times. Right now, teams that aren't scoring a lot of points probably just can't hang with the big boys.
Defensively we are not seeing those dominant defensive fronts and lockdown corners like Bama and Clemson had a few years ago. NIL has managed to spread talented position groups throughout a half dozen teams. Even Ohio State, with a reported top DL in the country couldn't contain Oregon for 60 minutes.
I suspect if Texas beats GA next weekend, its a sign those dominant forces like GA and Bama have had their run and nowadays there will be maybe 5-6 teams capable of winning it all.
Sidenote. How the hell do we explain Wisky steamrolling Rutgers and offensively anemic Purdue almost hitting a half hundred against Illinois?
Yeah, folks think it terms of a teams trajectory being either consistently up or down. That is just not the case. However, if sports fans were all grounded and didn’t think with an overreactive mind, sports talk would be pretty boring and message boards may not exist.
