Back nine: Tebow's run over
10. After the BCS national title game, I was thinking how the last thing you wanted to face is Nick Saban with time to prepare and a burr under his saddle. After Saturday night, the same goes for Tom Brady. This wasn't about Brady wanting to show Tim Tebow who the star is. It was about Brady being tired of hearing about playoff stumbles the last two years. “Honestly, I didn't hear Tom mention Tebow all week,” running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis said after the blowout win. The Patriots threw a new wrinkle at the Broncos lining up former Gator Aaron Hernandez at fullback. He ended up being the leading rusher for New England with 61 yards. More than anything, the Broncos could put no pressure on Brady. And while Tebow kept producing comeback wins all season, you can't come back from 42-7.
11. So the magical run is over and the anti-Tebites are popping champagne corks and drooling all over their laptops. And we're left with Baltimore-New England and San Francisco-New York. I have a feeling we're headed for an all-Harbaugh Super Bowl. But I wouldn't bet against Brady or Eli Manning. How's that for advice?
12. So I made the mistake of writing my top 25 for college football next season Saturday morning thinking all of the players who were going to go pro had already declared. I certainly wasn't counting on Darron Thomas, the Oregon quarterback, declaring for the NFL. I would drop Oregon about five spots and elevate USC to No. 2 because the Pac-12 just got a lot easier. I made a decision a dozen years ago to not criticize players who leave early because they are the ones who have to live with the decision. It's Thomas' life, not mine or yours. I will simply point out that NFLDraftScout.com has Thomas as the 12th-best quarterback prospect … in the 2013 Draft. There's a real good chance he won't get drafted. Meanwhile, Tyler Wilson is coming back to Arkansas and if the Razorbacks can find a defense they could be a national title contender, especially because they get Alabama and LSU at home this year.
