BCS? Heck, SEC’s got your national title game right here

ATLANTA — It’s going to be warmer, but it’s going to be a letdown.

That much has been determined of BCS Bowl XI 33 days from now in an anonymous suburb in South Florida. They will call it the national championship game, but they will be wrong.

College football left that designation behind in a wrung out Georgia Dome on Saturday night. The best conference’s best two teams were led into history by one of history’s best quarterbacks.

Let’s not stop there with Tim Tebow. Consider the stage, the opponent and stakes, and Superman might have to ring up one Archie Griffin on Sunday. Two words: Move over.

At the same time Florida’s marvelous, perfect, smiling, all-time leader of a quarterback might have clinched his second consecutive Heisman, the team he led wrapped up something more important.

“We don’t have any control over playing for a national championship,” Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen said. “The computers are going to spit out what happens to us now. But today, on the field, we got to control our fate in the SEC.”
