Superman Returns

FedEx BCS National Championship Game - Oklahoma v Florida
We aren't even a week removed from college football's computer calculated championship game and you can already pencil in the preseason No. 1 team thanks in part to a few words from Tim Tebow.

The Heisman winning quarterback and two-time national title winner announced he would be returning for his senior season at Florida instead of entering the NFL Draft. Because let's be honest, you would have to be an absolute nut to choose winter in Detroit over winter in Florida.

The move can only benefit Tebow, which is odd because returning to campus and ignoring the big bucks of the pros is usually the kiss of death and success is rare.

But as Superman returns to do his best Van Wilder impersonation, he can truly cement his legacy in college football.

He has an opportunity to win a second Heisman trophy, and if he plays like he did after the Ole Miss loss then he's a shoo-in. He can win a third SEC crown, which would be quite a feat for college football's premier conference.. He could find himself in his third national title game and if he and the Gators can do what they've done to Ohio State and Oklahoma then Tebow will immediately ascend to being the greatest college football player ever.

But it's really too early to be talking about that. But it's never too early for a gratuitous shot of his alleged arm candy.
