I don't see any way that Tebow is above Cam Newton. Cam carried a mediocre Auburn to a Natty pretty much by himself.

Well Cam did ride the bench at UF, so there's that.

Oddly, I'm pissed that Kevin Butler isn't on the list.

At the University of Georgia Butler was a two-time All-American and a four-time All-Southeastern Conference football player including three First-Team selections. Thus far he holds the Bulldogs' record for scoring with 353 points (122 PAT’s, 77 field goals), and he is second in career scoring in SEC history (including all players, kickers and non-kickers).[1] Butler helped lead Bulldog teams to two SEC titles and four bowl appearances, set an NCAA record with 27 multiple field-goal games, and was named to All-Century teams selected by the Walter Camp Football Foundation and Sports Illustrated, as well as to ABC Sports' College Football All Time All-America team.[2] In December 2001, Butler became the first and only kicker to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[3]
