True parity is actually mediocrity in most cases b/c a large number can't really be good at the same time. Look at the NFL, Patriots have won 6 Superbowls, been to 9 and been in the AFC title game I believe every year but 3 since 2001. Does anybody talk about lack of parity? NO! You can look at other pro sports. MCBB, etc,,,it's mostly the same core teams that are at or near the top most years. What you can say about the NFL or NBA or MCBB is when the perennial good team play poorly they have a much higher chance to lose than WCBB. Most of the Patriots losses last year were to teams that didn't make the playoffs. Golden State has gone blown out several times this year by teams that aren't close to making the NBA playoffs. Most of the blue bloods in MCBB have some losses to teams that on paper make you scratch your head. One could argue that's what some night call parity. When the better team plays poorly, the lesser teams have enough skill and talent to beat them. The any given Sunday montra in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
