On Monday, Tim Tebow made his first appearance as an ESPN analyst during pregame coverage of the BCS National Championship. Not only did he almost predict the exact outcome of the game — Tebow predicted a 35-31 FSU win; the final score was 34-31 — but he also gave us a glimpse into what kind of an analyst he will be: a pretty darn good one.

Tim Tebow's playing style, his heroic reputation in Gainesville, his contentious relationship with the NFL — everything about him yells "college football!"
