Pigskin Parity

Michael Wilbon has a nice article up about parity in college football. He frames it in reference to Maryland fans' dissatisfaction with this year's team. They feel like since they've won 10 games three years in row that they should just continue that. Nuh uh. It doesn't work like that. Not anymore (if it ever really did). Not at Nebraska, not at Texas, not at Alabama, not at Ohio State and certainly not at Maryland.

With reduced scholarships, increased television coverage and more national recruiting, it's very hard to maintain a consistent advantage over your rivals. But hey, that's part of what makes it so fun. Wins are not guaranteed, so enjoy them while you're getting them (if you are getting them, that is).
