That's why you're seeing many different teams in the playoffs that's never been there before. There's still dominating teams as far as NC's lately, ASU, and now NDSU but parity is running ramped in 1FCS It baffles me how YSU fan's think a win by YSU wasn't earned or they were lucky or not deserving A WIN is a WIN. That's why the game is played out in 60 minutes.
I don't entirely agree...

I agree that there is more parity but if Paul Johnson hadn't left GSU after the 2001 season I'd bet anything that GSU would've won the NC in 2002 and 2004 at a very minimum and if GSU had not hired Van Gonad Armanti Edwards wouldn't have gone to App.

IMO coaching turnover has had a much effect as the parity and in some ways it has caused it.
