I agree. What's happened with Bama has gone too far. Don't get me wrong - the coaching, the recruiting, the results... they're remarkable. Everybody involved deserves credit for creating perhaps the most dominant football dynasty in modern CFB and one of the most dominant in history.

It feels like we have some of the least parity ever in college football right now, at least in my lifetime. And the sport itself isn't heading in a good direction. The balance of power is too weighted with too few and I don't see anything in place right now to make that any different.

Totally agree with @Enhance.  What is happening is not good for CFB.

There is Alabama at the top, virtually untouchable.

Tier two there is Clemson and Ohio State.

Tier three is another handful of teams that can sniff the CFP.

Tier four the rest of the typical top 20-25.

Tier five is everyone else including Nebraska.

All the rules that are in place make moving up a tier very difficult and almost impossible to move into the top two tiers. The portal doesn't help and is helping destroy the game. I'd say they need some rules (similar to the salary cap) to prevent the top few programs from stockpiling all the top talent but I think it's prob too late for that. Even if Saban retired and they made a horrible hire I think best case it just allows one team to step into the elite club.

Could be sour grapes since we used to be the elite club but today seems way more out of whack.

This will all change when the playoff changes and they do 16 teams.  

Like I said before, think if March Madness was 4 teams.  Over the last twenty years think of the teams that finish in the top 4 of the CBB rankings.

UCONN

UK

KU

UNC

Duke

Maybe the Zags

But it would pretty much be the same 6-7 teams
