As you can tell, I write with a slight bias about this subject as an avid Gator (not to be confused with the weak ass smack of Gaytor) fan.  But even as I may be biased, stats (not selective stats either) are facts.  Ignoring the facts is making a decision based on your opinion.

While this award is opinion of voters, I find it disgusting that ESPN somehow can control where votes go for the winner.  ESPN has too much control and is more bias than I will ever be about sports.  I can actually open my mind and open myself to think from an outside view.

Chase Daniels is a great player and a great QB and should be a finalist for the trophy.  DMAC is a great player and a great RB and should be a finalist for the trophy.  Tim Tebow is better though.  And here's why...

Chase Daniels has put up great numbers, no doubt.  But he has also put it up against some pretty weak defenses.  He plays a style offense that allows him to put those kind of passing yards and TD's up very easily.  Not taking anything away from him but it's the same situation with Colt Brennan.  If numbers and stats are everything, let's give it to Colt Brennan.  Ahhh, but we don't.  Why is that?  Also, and probably the most important part here, Daniels failed his team against OU in the conference championship recently.  With absolutely a no show in the game and couldn't even get a passing TD.

DMAC, while having better stats this year than he did last year, isn't the best player in college football.  His inconsistency has caused his team to lose games because of his yards, or lack thereof.  Tim Tebow while not winning every game and losing 3, his stats were consistent and the losses were clearly nothing he could control (in 2 of the losses).  The defense was young and let the team drive at the end and put it away. 

There's only so much superman can do with 30 seconds on the clock. 

Not only did Tebow put up monsterous numbers and create some phenomenal records, he put himself in a league of his own with 20+ rushing and passing TD's.  He was also one of the top rushing TD leaders and he's a QB!  A QB PEOPLE!

A lot of people said that if he doesn't win it, it will be because of the Sophomore thing which is complete BS.  Age shouldn't have anything to do with it.  You either are the best player in college football or you aren't.  Age doesn't matter when looking at skill and greatness.

Call me a homer, call me what you will but you better actually make an intelligent argument because I'm tired of discussing this with complete rejects.
