They beat Florida who beat Oklahoma and Alabama, and they beat Texas Tech who beat Texas. Damn that Ole Miss team was a team for the ages!

Is there any consistency to any of these voters or even their votes year-to-year? If Gerhart wins the Heisman, we're both gonna shrug and say "WTF were they thinking"?

Golden Arm maybe, but it's for the best college QB of the year: Tommie Frazier Charlie Ward Tony Rice Rodney Peete Those guys were the best QB's and players of the year. They didn't throw for ridiculous passing yards. So how do you defend that? Uh….have you looked at some of the past Johnny Unitas winners?

And I think the worst thing for Tebow has been the neverending stream of nauseating stories about him. I keep telling my girl - we love him, but if he played for FSU or Bama or Texas (or whoever), we'd be sick of him too. But he hasn't asked for it and he's handled it all with grace. Gator Nation can't help but love him. Put a lot of my last couple of weeks into this and I've never even seen the kid from farther than 100 yards. And, contrary to many commenters belief, I'm far less of a nerd than I seem and have a life. I wish the Longhorns luck this weekend (don't think you're going to need it). Hope we get a chance to play this out in LA. I actually like the Longhorns and what they stand for and I like McCoy.

Sick as a dog with a cold, so it's taking some time. The switching between Excel and Firefox is much slower today than it's been in the past. How do you know I was born in Texas?

They shut OSU down for much of that game. Did you ever watch a Georgia game and see just how bad that defense was? They shut OSU down for much of that game.

Not a team you're favored to beat by 72 points.

I think he's a great player, I kind of feel bad for him because the media rubs him in everyones face so unless you're a Florida fan you're bound to get tired of it. I can say unequivocally that if it was Colt McCoy they were doing that with, Texas fans would eat it up. Though I must admit some of Tebow's antics seem a little phony, but maybe I am a bit biased. My argument with all the "stats" that you post is that you spin it to make the SEC/Florida/Tebow look better. SEC has higher ranked pass defenses so Tebow's overall stats, while lower than Colt's must mean he's better since he played better defenses. You fail to mention that the Big 12 has far superior pass offenses than the SEC so it stands to reason that the Big 12 will have lower-ranked pass defenses. Another thing that you failed to mention in your Tebow vs McCoy "analysis" is that 10 of Tebow's 17 TD passes came against his OOC foes: Charleston Southern, Troy, FAU and some other cupcake. Against those super tough SEC defenses, Tebow had 7 passing and 8 rushing TDs. Not exactly superstar numbers. So, in summation Michael, I don't have a problem with admitting Tebow is a great player. I have a problem with your biased reporting and articles. And for christ's sake son...YOU WERE BORN IN TEXAS! No Michael, I have never said anything negative about Tim Tebow.
