Monopolies in Sports-Golden State, Alabama, New England, and soon to be the Yankees

It seems that all sports are becoming the NBA where you know who's going to be in the title game at the start of the season. The NHL's expansion team is a breath of fresh air in such a landscape.

Yankees are nowhere near the other 3.
You can win 110+ in the MLB and lose in a 5 game series pretty easily. It will never be a sport where you can just pencil someone in to a deep playoff run due to the tiny sample size of the postseason.

Baseball is the only league with parity. Any team can win in my opinion.

One of those hasn't won a title in almost 10 years.

Baseball has parity which is nice.
CFB is the worst.
Difference between Bama winning the title this year and not?
Play on the field? Nope.
Votes. Pandering. Politicking. Little Nicky crying on Gameday.
If Bama gets left out of the playoff in favor of Ohio State or Wisconsin. Do they win the National Title?
A sport where you have to be invited to win the Natty is a pretty stupid sport unless you invite everyone.
Hell even most coaches want every team to be invited to March Madness and they have 64 already!
Not just a ridiculous 4.

lol nah
They stacked that team and it's pissing a lot of people off
Posted on 1/21/18 at 8:09 pm to BayouBengals03
Not only did they stack the team, every player is basically in a 'contract year' and playing out of their mind.

yep
Posted on 1/21/18 at 8:12 pm to BayouBengals03
Meanwhile OP left off that the Pittsburgh Penguins are two time defending champions

they weren't even that good last year.
was reminiscent of the Rockets 2nd of their back-to-back in the '90s
ETA: But I get what you're saying

You had an upvote till halfway thru....then you lost it.
The problem wasn't the two team playoff (BCS championship) and isn't the four-team playoff. The problem is the combination of the lack of specific objective criteria for selection and the favoritism it opens the door for.
We are four years in to the playoffs and two of the so-called champions are illegitimate. Of course, the talking heads and fans of those teams will try to say that the result justified the incorrect decision, but it didn't.
Wisconsin was a clear cut team that should have gotten in over Alabama when matching up resumes. The top opponents that each team beat were similar. Wisconsin had 12
FBS wins vs 10 for Bama. Wisconsin won it's division -
Bama didn't. Wisconsin's lone loss was closer and to a higher ranked opponent....though neutral vs away evens that out a bit.
Yet the talking heads NEVER put Wisconsin in the discussion. It was Alabama vs Ohio State ONLY.
So if Ohio States defeat of Wisconsin excluded them, why didn't Auburn's win over Bama???
It's because since the day he who wasn't going to be the coach at Bama became the coach there, ESPN has bent over backwards to promote him and that program. How many other 7-5 teams had their spring game televised on "the mothership" that year???
The problem ain't the damn format...,it's that things are rigged at worse and at the least played by a
Different set of rules.

Instead of focusing on the Yankees inclusion, focus on the point of the topic.

So two leagues then
College football isn’t designed to have any sort of parity I’m not sure why you’re comparing it to pro sports
