Tebow leads Gators back on top

In late September, after Florida's 31-30 loss to Mississippi, Tim Tebow made a promise to the media and Gator nation that nobody and no team will work and play harder than he and his team will.


The result?



The Gators would win ten straight including a win over previously undefeated Alabama in the SEC Championship game and last nights 24-14 win in the BCS National Championship game over the #1 Oklahoma Sooners.



"I was already motivated for a national championship game. But you know, there was some trash talking going on, and it just gets me going during the game," said Tebow, who ran for 109 yards and went 18 for 30 passing with 231 yards with two touchdowns and a career-high two interceptions in the game.



Safe to say that he kept his promise.



The win marked the schools second national championship in three years (2006). Florida also becomes just the fourth school in the modern football era to win two national championships in a three-year span, joining Oklahoma (1955, 1956), Miami (1987, 1989) and Nebraska (1994, 1995).



Tebow also joins Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Gino Toretta and Johnny Rodgers as the only plays to win a Heisman and two national championships in their collegiate careers.



The AP announced Friday that the National Champion Gators are #1 in the final AP poll with undefeated Utah at #2. Florida recieved 48 first place votes of the 65 casted.



"I'll tell you, we're going to enjoy a big win, we're going to enjoy the national championship," Florida's Head Coach Urbay Meyer said, ignoring questions about other coaches claiming their team should be ranked #1. "Let someone else worry about that. Gators are No. 1"

The question now is, will the juniors take a page out from the Florida basketball team and stay to win back-to-back national championships.

The end of this decade is now looking at a Gator dynasty.
