year. It was already starting to happen before the CFP launched in 2014...
From 2009 to 2013 (the final 5 years of the BCS era), Alabama won the title 3 times... the same rate at which they're winning the CFP. And it would have been 4 of the last 5 BCS titles if not for the improbable "Kick Six" that put Auburn in the 2013 title game instead of the Tide.
If Alabama's dynasty had started in 2000 instead of 2009, they would have dominated the *entire* BCS era.
The fact is, there was more parity in CFB when the BCS era began, than when it ended. That trend is continuing, and NIL and transfer free-agency will further widen the gap.
