Column: Parity in college football — there isn’t any

Friends, we’ve made it to April. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming. And as the last of the bitter winter finally thawed, we had football once again in the form of the Ohio State spring game Saturday.

But let’s be real: What are spring games anyway, if not glorified touch football scrimmages? And yet, they cap a brief season in the football annum which affirms success for the already successful, and failure for those already, preemptively deemed doomed.

So what did we learn from Ohio State’s spring game? Probably that, despite a host of new faces and names at key position groups, the Buckeyes will once again be contenders for the College Football Playoff come the fall.
