It means that in college football you can win without a big time QB I guess

Tenn is an interesting stroy, won the year after Peyton.

FSU was in the first 3 BCS Title Games.

Before leading tOSU to the title in '02, Krenzel only had 2 starts in his career, & he only got them then because the starter got nailed for drunk driving.

Hollieway over PSU ???

Didn't begin the season as the starter, but as a true freshman led the Sooners through the Big 8 and over Nittany Lions in the OB.

It means imagine how dominant the SEC would be if it had experience at the QB position.
