So of 130 teams, realistically maybe 15 or 25 have the resources to compete for a playoff spot year after year.
We are 4 years in and of 16 possible teams we’ve had 3 SEC teams(5 spots of 16), 2 PAC 12 team, 2 ACC teams(5 of 16), 2 B1G teams (3 of 16), and Notre Dame.
In the NFL, success leads to low draft picks. The pack can catch up.
In college, success leads to the best recruits choosing your program.
The rich get richer.
A team can break through, but college is sort of set up for the name brands.
NFL has more parity.

These are basically true for other college sports, how many 5* BB recruits go to Duke or Kentucky? but the nature of the game of football, and the size of the teams make it more likely to dominated but a handful of teams and huge upsets to be far less likely. However, the teams at the top do change. USC was dominant for a decade (they would probably have another title or 2 with a 4 team playoff). Before that Florida State, Nebraska and Miami all had runs.
