The Year Parity Came to Roost
I cannot help but love it whenever Spurrier loses. Although he is my favorite coach of the Washington NFL team (who either embrace a really racist moniker or are named after a potato), Spurrier is hard to like. The SEC, clearly the best of the major conferences in the NCAA this year, has seen KY beat LSU and now SC loses to Vandy and TN loses to Bama. Parity is here. Do any of you sports fans/aficionados/writers (Dr.Masse) think that the toothpaste will go back into the tube easily? If there is not going to be a playoff, and face it realists - it is not coming anytime soon due to $$ - there should be no pre-season rankings. But that, too, is a pipe dream because the networks who televise the stuff would commission their own polls to help hype games and pay for the huge $$$ they pay the NCAA for broadcasting rights. I just take some comfort in seeing parity wreak havoc with the established orthodoxy of the joke that is college football rankings and national titles.
