Disparity over spans is good yes, but when it's a forced disparity, one in which even the best can't rise up to overcome, then that's where I don't see it as simple disparity but a division.

I don't like the NFL because it seems the parity is so close. Let's use the MLB as an example. Right now everyone would agree there's a large disparity between the Yankees and Red Sox and the Devil Rays. But the Devil Rays do have that shot to eventually rise up to overcome that disparity while the Yankees and Red Sox have that chance to fall from grace and fall into the trenches.

College football doesn't offer that in it's present state. If applied to baseball, the Devil Rays would never have a shot at a world series championship without a change of system. Same coudl be said for the Tigers and Royals.
