Who are these dynamic backs that the titles were built around?
Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps and Emmanuel Moody all averaged between 7 and 8 yards per carry and combined for 1,700 yards rushing. That isn't counting the 660 yards and 9+ YPC average Harvin had. Combined those four averaged 8.1 YPC, rushing for nearly 2,400 yards and 23 TDs combined.
Meanwhile Tebow averaged 3.8 yards per carry and scored 12 TDs, most of which were goal line dive plays.
Their 2008 defense was 4th in PPG allowed.

The offense was not built around Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey. Tebow has more rushing attempts than those two combined. You also have to keep in mind we were demolishing opponents in the second half, I remember Demps and Rainey have some big runs late in games.
Tebow may not be everyone's favorite style of QB, but I think you are seriously undervaluing his importance to the team. You seem to be leaving him completely out of the equation.

They all reeked at least as bad as my nuts do.
Harvin, otoh: that guy was goddamn breathtaking. It was like he was built with an extra gear.

At this point I'm genuinely curious if you ever watched those Florida teams play

You ever notice how backs suddenly averaged a lot more ypc with Tim? Happened in the NFL too-- its because the linebackers had to key in on him-- its the only thing that let a guy like Demps do as well as he did-- Jeff was only slightly bigger and slightly faster than Trindon Holliday but was the starting RB on a national title winning SEC team-- because Tim took all of the big shots.

Rainey and Demps were both glorified track stars who, granted, were our big play threats along with Harvin. But Tebow, while not as explosive as guys like Cam and Manziel, was absolutely money in the clutch -- there was no one better at getting just enough yards to move the chains and continuously break the defense's will. Guys like Rainey and Demps had holes because of Tebow. Not the other way around.
