I would love it if someone did this, but I doubt anyone would cause amount of time it would take.

Look up each teams OOC and Bowl Game record and compare each conference for common opponents and then decide conference records.

It might be impossible but I am sure if someone was bored enough they could do it.

Someone listed great player from the last ten years. They listed JR which I assumed was Russell. I don't think he had the best college career, but I think he might have been the biggest QB prospect recently. He has probably the strongest arm in the NFL, he is a big 6'6, and he is still reasonably fast for a QB.

He is still potential. I don't think he was a better college player. I was just mentioning some other good players.

I am mainly talking about the defenses and not necessarily the entirety of the teams he played.

Tebow is no doubt something very, very special. Is he the greatest? I really don't know. I guess I'm skeptical about thinking about it because I'm a Tiger and hate Florida. With that said, I still have the lasting image of Vince Young in my head and that Championship he won for Texas. Sure Tebow might have a better arm, but could Tim Tebow have rallied his team against that USC team when down by 12 with 6.5 min left? I really don't think so.

Main thing about this topic is it's a TBD issue. If UF runs the tables and wins again, and Tebow wins another Heisman yes he's the best. But that's a lot to say will happen.

That's my rant.

I think Fitzgerald should be thrown in their if you are going to say Calvin Johnson.

As much as it pains me to say, McFadden wasn't a better college player than Tebow. If McFadden played 4 years, probably.

On a side note, McFadden got screwed over in the Heisman voting.

This statement couldn't be further from the truth. Texas fans hate A&M and Oklahoma. I have met many a longhorn since living in Texas and the feeling never seems that bad when we talk sports.

That being said, the baseball championship win was sweet.

Although Tebow is great, and I'd take him as our QB in a heartbeat, I do think the attention he receives is a little over-the-top. I think it's hilarious that people claim he's the greatest college football ever. People sure have short memories.


If he has a good year and wins 3 NC's and 2 Heismans, then I think he's easily the greatest ever.

His team has tons of talent but so do many of the SEC teams. His decision making and leadership is a big part of why they win.

Tebow is a senior this year. He has 2 championship rings and a heisman.

Sure he didn't start in the 1st championship but still had a pretty integral part in the offense.

Name another that can claim that.

If he wins again either the heisman or a championship he will WITHOUT question be the greatest ever.

First, you post random quotes with no source and claim they are from Texas fans. Nice work.

Second, Texas does not have penis envy of anyone. We don't keep up with the Jones', We are the Jones'.

Third, Congrats to LSU on there win at the CWS. You had the better team.

Fourth, Tebow is a great, great player. Vince was a great, great player. There collective will's to win are like none I have seen. I think they are allot alike. Naturally, being a Texas fan, I would put Vince and the 2005 Texas team against any team during any year.

Last, every fan base thinks that every other fan base is arrogant and ignorant.
