What does parity mean?

From Jay Bilas today:

"This week in 2003, Syracuse was ranked 15th (1-4) and Kansas 7th (20-6). Top 5 teams had 18 losses combined
."

"Losses among top 5 teams this week? 15 (Indiana No. 1, has 3). This week in 2007, Top 5 had 15 losses, and Florida was No. 3, had 3."

"Total losses of Top 25 teams this week? 112. Total losses of Top 25 one year ago this week? 122. No great teams, but not much different."

What does it mean? Could mean nothing but it could also mean the overriding theme of parity is twofold. One, we've often had parity and two, chances are, the teams in the top 10 are still the best choices in March.
