There is actually way more parity today than there was in 1970 (just a year picked out of thin air), but there is no convincing some folks of that.I can't like this enough. This look back with nostalgia glasses is laughable and not even remotely accurate. As you said, it's always been about 5-6 that dominated at any given time. Yeah those teams rotated...some...but it really was no different. This is basically a bunch of feelings (funny considering the types doing most of the complaining about this). Some of you guys are like kids finding out Santa isn't real and you want to go back to believing that instead of just accepting what's been true all along.
It is also interesting to me that in this era of "no parity" that Clemson has become a juggernaut, and it isn't like they had periods in their history of dominance. Probably 90% of the history that program is known for has occurred within the last 5-6 years.
