Let’s be realistic – none of the candidates played in games that should have been particularly close.  A&M is bad, as is Florida State.  Auburn shouldn’t have been a problem for Alabama.  Notre Dame wouldn’t be trouble for any Top 20 team – Stanford just isn’t that good, but…  I hear the cries of “rivalry game”.  Whatever.  Do your business.

Tebow did what was expected of him.  Very good numbers against a very mediocre defense.  How far the (once) mighty Seminoles have fallen.  17/21 for 221 yards.  3 touchdowns 0 Interceptions.  90 Yards Rushing and 2 Rushing TDs.  Oh – and he didn’t play the whole game.

On a personal note – it was amazing to be there.  The mood was electric.  I saw men openly weep.  I know that many are sick of the Tebow coverage, but it’s not like he’s asked for it.  And he’s been good for the game.

McCoy had a ridiculous stats day.  24/40 for 304 yards and four touchdowns.  175 yards rushing for 1 touchdown.  111th ranked pass defense.  107th ranked total defense.  Meh.

I’m a big fan of Gerhart.  Old school, hard nosed player.  Also had a ridiculous week against weak competition.  29 rushes for 205 yards.  1 reception for 33 yards.  89th ranked rush defense.

The Twitter world has been going crazy with these stats.  I plan to actually go through the season stats and put them into context as the week goes on.
