Breaking News! Tim Tebow is doing fine

All you Florida Gator fans out there might be slightly worried about Tim Tebow starting this weekend. No worries, even though Urban Meyer has said that it will be a game day decision, he also said that Tebow looks better than he's ever see him.

Since we're pretty powerful here at Just South of North, here's an exclusive first photo of Tim Tebow this week preparing for the game...

Hooray! Don't be worried at all Gators fans!

This Saturday in College Football

It's looking like it's going to be Florida and Oklahoma in the national championship game if all predictions and BCS scenarios play out, which is sure to cause an uproar from every single team with one loss in the country.

Well boo hoo.

Right now, at this moment, the no. 1 and no. 2 teams in the country are Florida and Oklahoma. There's really no doubt about that, except for Texas fans, who will say that they defeated the Oklahoma Sooners earlier this year. Well good job, get a good drink of water and enjoy the Sun Bowl because nowadays it's all about what you're doing right now.

Texas beat the Sooners, were in the driver's seat to the national championship and then lost to Texas Tech, who were then in that same seat, until they got absolutely annihilated by Oklahoma. They get the tiebreaker to the Big 12 Championship game because of their BCS standings and they annihilated Missouri, which was the 19th-ranked team in the country.

Sorry Longhorn fans, your team had it's shot and screwed it up, Oklahoma meanwhile has been simply unstoppable these past few weeks and oh...

THEY WON THEIR CONFERENCE

It would be ridiculous for the Longhorns to be in the National Championship game when they haven't even won their division within their conference.

Does Texas deserve a shot? Sure. However our current system only sets up the no. 1 and no. 2 teams in the country, which is Oklahoma and Florida by most accounts. You can't blame the BCS for the fact that their are competitive no. 3, no. 4 and no. 5 teams as well - however you don't see these coaches talking to their university presidents or conferences about this. You don't.

The BCS gives us the two top teams, as advertised. Every team knows this going into the season.

And please Boise State and Utah... stop complaining about getting snuffed because some FCS programs have a tougher schedule than you do.

Without further delay here's this week's scores:

No. 12 Ball State 24, Buffalo 42 - I'm not shocked that Ball State finally lost a game, I am shocked though that Buffalo is 8-5.

No. 23 Pittsburgh 34, UCONN 10 - Congrats Pittsburgh, enjoy the Sun Bowl.

No. 18 Boston College 12, Virginia Tech 30 - That was the ACC Championship game... yep, that conference is having a down year.

No. 1 Alabama 20, No. 2 Florida 31 - Look! A real conference championship game!

No. 5 USC 28, UCLA 7 - What's funny is that the Trojans seem to play in the Rose Bowl more often than the Bruins... ooo burn.

No. 19 Missouri 21, No. 4 Oklahoma 62 - Yeah Oklahoma doesn't deserve to be in the National Championship Game... no way.

No. 13 Cincinnati 29, Hawaii 24 - And will this loss, the Warriors will be playing in their home state, in their home stadium, for a bowl game. Look for them to get blownout in that game against the 7th best Pac Ten team.

Linemen are stupid, actually

Tim Tebow scores... he scores alot. I mean just look at this photo above. Okay, that was a lie, Tebow could be going into the priesthood for all I know and that could be his sister in that photo. However, Lineman are always jelous of people that can score a lot. Hence this comment from an Tigers defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois about the upcoming Flordia-LSU matchup this weekend in college football:

"If we get a good shot on [Tebow], we're going to try our best to take him out of the game," Jean-Francois said Monday, according to the Orlando Sentinel's Web site. "With his size and his heart, it's hard to get a clean shot.

"I think every lineman wants to get a good hit on a Heisman Trophy winner."

To which a response was released from Florida:

Jean-Francois' remark "fires Tim up. Seems a little unsportsmanlike to me," Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen said Tuesday. "Intentionally injuring other players is not part of the game that we teach here."

Awww. Crap. A fired up Tim Tebow? Remember how he promised the media that they would not find a harder working player in college football making sure his team wins their games. And then you throw this into the mix. Tebow is going to rush for 500 yards and pass for a 1,000.

The obvious bulliten board and media controversy that would follow caused Jean-Francois (and probably LSU's PR department) to make this move.

Later in the day, Jean-Francois issued a statement through LSU that said, "We never go into any football game trying to hurt a player from the other team. My comments in regard to Florida quarterback Tim Tebow were misinterpreted and were intended to reflect the style of football that we play at LSU.

"We have great respect for Tim as a player and a competitor. By taking him out of the game, I meant as a defense we are going to try to make him ineffective. I'm sorry that my initial comments were interpreted another way."
