re: SEC dominance by decade

For a cherry on top, LSU Heismans in the decade = Zero, Florida = Tebow.

Tebow’s Heisman was media and stat-driven only. Tebow had 4 losses as a starter that year (including the bowl game) and threw a boneheaded INT off the helmet of his own player which gave Hester the opportunity to take over the LSU-UF game that year. That head-to-head performance alone should’ve put Hester as a finalist and not Tebow.

I’d argue that Tebow should’ve won it in 08 but he was not the best QB in CFB in 07. Terrible choice that year. Gaudy stats but couldn’t win the games that counted.

You gotta give the 2005 Tigers a lot of props for finishing with one loss and an SEC title appearance following Katrina. Probably the gutsiest team of the decade.

UF also loses the 2000s if the decades are counted 1-0 instead of 0-9. The head to head split goes to 5-5 if counted that way as well.

9/10 and no natty.. tough!
