There has been lots of parity in basketball for years. What's new is seeing it in football. Hopefully it will last & the whole idea of P2 will fade away is ridiculous arrogance. I don't really expect my wish to come into fruition but it's what is best for the sport.

i know there's been parity, but there's still an upper group. this year i'm not so sure
Good point. But are the losses by do many top teams an indication that there is more parity or that the preseason rankings are suspect? I think it's a little of both.
It has been a bloody two weeks for the top 25
Working on my Updated Top 25.

Here’s what I know for certain.
1) Auburn
2) Kansas
The SEC is going to push for 10 bids to the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

Best rendition of the league I've covered in nearly 20 years on this beat.
I think Men's basketball has always had wayyy more parity. Look at national champions for the last 20 years, multiple different teams and conferences represented
The parity in football will not last. At least not to the level we are currently seeing. If the Indianas and Iowa States of the world think they are going to outspend Oregon (Nike) or any SEC team in the long run...they are sadly mistaken.
I think it was Utah football where every player got a brand new truck. You think whoever paid for that likes that return on their investment?! SMU might be the only one willing and able to match spending.

For March Madness, no conference should be guaranteed any number of bids. There are 68 slots & everyone should be based upon the record on the courts.
The SEC should be punished for trying to rig it!

Unfortunately they wont be
The Big East, other than Marquette, has been brutal for the most part over the first month of the season.

St. John's and Xavier have been solid.
UConn's best win is Sacred Heart, Creighton's is UTRGV, Providence's is Green Bay, Villanova's is Rider, Georgetown's is Mount St.…

West Virginia gives No. 24 Arizona its 4th loss in the last 5 games 🤯 pic.twitter.com/6zWzmRpxtm
West Virginia --- the team that was picked 13th in the Big 12 Preseason Poll --- has beaten Gonzaga and Arizona in the Bahamas. Mountaineers will have a dog in the Big 12 fight under Darian DeVries.

Well…we are not on the list. We will end up playing two of the teams on the list though.
Biggest Disappointments Thus Far:

UConn
Indiana
Arizona
Creighton
Arkansas
We've already beaten one of them. I hop Arkansas remains ranked.

UConn
Indiana
Arizona
Creighton

UConn deserves its own category and I hope we can help cement that status.
Creighton also very shocking! Arkansas isn't that big of a shock given their changes.
Over HALF of the AP Top 25 lost this week 🤯

Records of power conferences against other power conferences:
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) December 1, 2024
ACC: 12-28
Big 12: 14-18
Big East: 10-12
Big Ten: 21-14
SEC: 29-13
This are the worst stats. So much for Big 12 dominance.

He isn't saying the SEC is trying to rig it, he is saying that he believes 10 SEC teams are good enough to make the field
It's ridiculous to say something like that now. The season just began a few weeks ago and there are lots of games remaining. No one knows how many teams will get in. It's very unlikely the any conference will get 10 teams in.
SEC 9, ACC 0

The challenge is already over.
The SEC is insane this season.

The ACC squeezed a big win last night!
I think much like the old system, the spending will stay the same with the Old Guard and we will see different spending levels every few years with all the wannabes so basically nothing changes very much.
DOWN GOES NO. 1 🚨

This was Creighton’s second-ever win against the AP No. 1 — both in the last two seasons 🔥

They have been very strong out of conference
A conference doesn't win a national championship but there is no disputing the SEC has looked head and shoulders above the ACC, Big 12, B1G and Big East from a quality of depth perspective so far.

Not only is the @SEC outrageously good this season, but the fact that there are no more @pac12 NCAA bids at the moment means that, at this point, 14 of 16 teams will be serious bid contenders. Highest @kenpomeroy ranking since ‘04 @theACC.

At this point, no one would be surprised if the SEC puts several more teams into the NCAA tournament than any other conference. If that's occurs, the Big 12 will need a strong showing in that tournament in order to prove itself.
