re: Is this just a down year for college football as a whole?

I will never understand why some people think parity means it's a down year.

Because there is a difference between parity due to a lot of good teams and parity due to a lot of okay teams.

We all know Alabama isn't nearly as good as years past, yet they are a top-ranked team. We all know FSU isn't nearly as good as last year, yet they are a top-ranked team.

There are just no really strong teams this year, and that is what people mean when they say it's a down year. Down in terms of really good teams.
