I didn't list it last night, but I think the standard deviation of the rankings within each league would be the best measure of parity. The lower the Std dev, the closer all the teams in a league are ranked, indicating more parity. So BBB#16 has teams ranked all over the place (relatively), and BBB#2 has teams ranked closest together.
BBB#2 ------17.47
BBB#7 ------18.18
BBB#13 -----18.27
BBB#11 -----19.47
BBB#5 ------20.33
BBB#1 ------20.75
BBB#14 -----21.06
BBB#3 ------21.20
BBB#10 -----21.45
BBB#15 -----21.50
BBB#8 ------21.62
BBB#9 ------21.72
BBB#12 -----22.79
BBB#4 ------23.02
BBB#6 ------23.90
BBB#16 -----24.48
Thanks,

If you want to look at which leagues/conferences have the most even teams, that would be the Standard deviation numbers that I posted (at the end of page 2), where BBB#2 has the lowest value indicating that the teams in BBB#2 are closest together in the overall rankings, and are therefore the most evenly matched.
