Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators Cannot Be Tamed

Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators Cannot Be Tamed

The college football season is winding down and the only question on my mind is; Can anyone take down the mighty Gators. My answer is No. Florida is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of any of the teams that pose a threat to them repeating as National Champions.  Florida has the most and deepest  talent among any team. Add the best college football player of all-time in Tim Tebow, and you have a unstoppable machine. Oh yes, they have a pretty good head coach in Urban Meyer.

Florida will begin their march for this national championship in the SEC championship game on DEC 5 against second rated Alabama. This is a good test before the championship game ,but it will be the combination of  talent and Tebow that will carry the Gators to victory. When they defeat Bama, they will probably either face Texas, TCU or Cincinnati for the title. Those teams are good but not good enough to lasso a victory from the Gators. I think TCU would give them the best game.

Tim Tebow is one of my favorite College Football players of All-Time. I love his intensity and his drive to win is second to none. Like me, he justs hates to lose.  He has the heart of a champion. This is infectious to his teammates and  gets the most out of them because of it. Florida, Tebow, and Meyer will go out unbeaten and add another Championship trophy to the mantle. I  consider it a privilege to be able tow watch a player like Tim Tebow perform over the years, you will never see another player like him. Don’t miss his last two games.

It’s Time For a College Football Playoff

Tony Pike Has Lead Cincinnati To Undefeated Record

Tony Pike Has Lead Cincinnati To Undefeated Record

Don’t you think it is time for a playoff in college football. In my opinion the BCS standings are flawed. To narrow it down to just two teams based on the current standings just doesn’t work for me. I do not like the fact that you can defeat a team early in the season and then get penalized later in the season because that team suffered another loss further into the season.  Another factor is the biased that can be shown for a particular school by the people voting.

My solution is to take the top eight teams and have a playoff. You would have 1-8,2-7 and so on. Yes this would add a couple more games for the schools but they could get rid of one game during the regular season. You would do this January of course and the students are off during this time for winter recess. This playoff would lead to no disputing of a true national champion. This playoff also incorporates the BCS standings so that will still stay vital in determining the playoff teams.

Right now you have six unbeaten teams. Florida, Alabama, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, and Boise St. Teams seven and eight are Oregon and Ohio State respectively. Ohio State at # 8 is a full 103 points ahead of the number nine team Iowa. So you see this would work ,and who would not like to see a team like TCU or Boise St. get a chance to knock off a bigger power in a playoff.

I love college football with a passion. It is time to get away from tradition and give the fans what they want and deserve. I only hope that in the near future this dream playoff becomes a reality.
