Tim Tebow isn’t mad that he didn’t win the 2008 Heisman, despite having the most first place votes. But he is a competitor and will use this as motivation in the BCS National Championship Game on January 8.

“I do now,” Florida Coach Urban Meyer said when asked if he thought Tebow deserved another Heisman Trophy. “No disrespect at all because I think the Big 12 quarterbacks are tremendous players. But I have a responsibility, and that’s my quarterback. I think he’s the best in college football. I think he’s the best football player in America.”
