"Thom Brennaman's a smart man."

Tim Tebow is literally everywhere these days (he's the No. 18 hot search on Google the morning after winning the BCS Title, and "John 3:16"—on his eye black last night—is No. 1). When you're sitting around with your friends this weekend consuming NFL action, here's five questions to toss around about Tebow:

1. Right now, where does he rank in terms of all-time college football greats? Follow: if he finishes with three national titles and two Heismans, does that completely end the discussion?

2. Should people be offended by his eye black? (He had Phil 4:13 on in the SEC Title game, too.)

3. What position is this guy going to play in the NFL?

4. Is he the best thing to happen to college sports in the last decade, when taking everything about him into account? Or, do you take the "too good to be true" stance?

5. What former college athlete could you compare his trajectory to?
