Could Tim Tebow/Cam Newton carry a mid tier P4 team to the CFP today?

Let's say you put modern day Tebow or Newton on someone like Tennessee or Mizzou's roster, could they make the CFP?

Tennessee went to the playoffs with Nico lol. The real question is could they get LSU there?

Heisman winner Jayden Daniels couldn't even get LSU to the playoffs lol

Yes, easily.

Have people forgotten that Auburn went 8-5 in both 2009 and 2011? And 2010 was 14-0.

I will say, it’s more of a given that Cam Newton would carry. Tim Tebow never had to do that. He was surrounded by NFL talent and had far superior coaching at Florida.

Sure, but he's like 37 now and probably not in football shape.

No. You're thinking of Mark Richt recruiting him.

Maybe to the playoff but not a championship. Auburn did have 2 dominant D linemen and were probably an 8-4 type team with an average QB.
