"Anybody can beat anybody on any given day. That's just kind of where we are," Swinney said. "Just when you think you know, you don't. That's where we are in college football right now. There's a lot of parity."


I see this and think of the last few press meetings with Bowden saying the same thing. Almost verbatim. It actually used to be a running joke and/or excuse for board critics and others to bash. Probably with right. Old example from quick search

Anyway. It's still an honest assessment. But by the same argument, B1G @ SEC are also full of "parity." You gotta win your games. Even in a conference considered lowly, and hurts us...?? If we win, we're in. Done it before with tighter restricting. Parity shouldn't matter. There's always similarities. It's semantics. Go win the game.

Vandy didn't beat Bama during the Bowden Era.

It's truer now. Not just a lame excuse.

If you're trying to win the whole thing..... you have to maximize your own efforts.

For example...our efforts appeared to be maximized against Georgia.......in the first half. Second half our efforts were not maximized. We had all spring and summer to be ready. Stuff like that and the molasses tar pits we stood in against Louisville......is what brings all this unwanted parity.

Got to build... build.... build.... build.... build

That was where ########## became a running theme nationally. Bottomline is you have to out-coach the other team if he thinks parity is happening (which it is obviously) but then he needs to step up his coaching to beat the talent parity. Pretty much what everyone is saying minus those screaming for portal use. I don't care how Dabo builds his team but the coaching should be top tier!

The portal, then go and get the best coaches money can buy and develop the players. Issue for us as fans, we tasted the success and know the program can win at the top levels. Many moons ago, most of us would kill to have the teams for the last 4 seasons because we lived through the Tommy West years and CTB years. However it’s like DS has become complacent, that’s frustrating.
