Florida Wins BCS Title, 24-14; Tebow Enters Favre Zone

Notice how I didn't say national title? It's because I fully endorse a split title. With the sluggish/ugh-ish pace and style of that game, it was anything but decisive. I hope the AP votes Utah No. 1, but I don't see it happening.

Meanwhile, everyone's favorite QB1 accounted for 300+ yards but was woofing it up to the point where he actually got a (GASP!) unsportsmanlike conduct call toward the end of the game. Not our Timmy!!!

This needs to be said: the dude's overrated -- which I find impossibly difficult to happen because he is undeniably good, yet, it somehow has happened.

Tonight, his arm was mediocre at best. Can he run with the rock? Sure. Is he a "leader" (whatever that means)? Begrudgingly, yes. Beyond that, I don't get how tonight's performance cemented him as one of the best quarterbacks ever. Tebow's offense is basically like an honors system Wildcat package. It's run first, and anything you happen to get out of the passing game is a plus. I bring this up because of the "controversy" of the Oklahoma DB calling out Tebow and saying he might only be the fourth best QB in the Big 12. Predictably, the announcers said how foolish of a statement that was, but is it really? Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm going to assert here and now that Harrell, McCoy, and, of course, Sam Bradford are all unquestionably better passers.

The announcers also said something about how Tebow's 2 INTs helped fire up the team, or something along those lines. That statement was tailor-made for Brett Favre. I was almost waiting for them to say something like: Tebow doesn't throw interceptions, he fires up the defense by forcing them back onto the field!

Real quick intervention: 1) Fox had this unbelievably stupid graphic where it had the OU logo with a counter going up to time how long it took for their "fast paced no huddle" to go from one snap to the next, only most of the time, Oklahoma was doing audibles galore, so the whole graphic was pointless as the second counter was hitting 20 and sometimes 30 before the snap even happened. I just wanted to be the first person to make fun of that before I (hopefully) see a lot of bashing/laughing going on tomorrow. 2) One of the greatest NFL coaches ever was at the game. 3) While the game itself was deceptively bad, there were plenty of good highlights... from injuries to touchdowns to impressive interceptions. 4) Just to clear things up, Tebow is not dating British pin up model Lucy Pinder.

Anyway, it should go without saying that Tebow's missionary work was mentioned. Now I don't want to open up any sort of issue here, but just one thing: why does being religious make you a good person? I'm sure plenty of college players -- from religious to not -- do volunteer work, but it's like Tebow is the only one who ever gets the credit. Snippy snip snip.

Whatever... Enjoy the title real Florida fans. RIP, Sam Bradford. I still say Percy Harvin is soft. Urban Meyer is incredible. Bob Stoops looks funny a lot. Eat shit, Shanoff.

UPDATE: I'm not crazy, read this.
