Charleston Southern, Troy, FIU, Florida State (both years), Cincinnati, Hawaii, Miami Fl, the citadel, oklahoma

oklahoma and cincinnati only happened becasue of bowl games, and I would argue that if it wasn't tradition Florida wouldn't even play FSU.

Well, first of all, Tebow was a starter the past three years, not two.

Oklahoma, Cincy, Miami, Florida St three times, and Michigan (bowl game 2007) isn't exactly terrible. In those games UF went 6-1. Every big time program plays a few cupcakes along the way. It's just how it is. So a few times a year Tebow got to pile up some stats on bad teams. It's also worth noting that he often didn't play in the second half of some of those games. He also played 24 games in 3 years against SEC defenses and went 20-4 in those games.

And what does the tradition aspect of your FSU argument have to do with anything? That's Bowden-led program from a BCS conference and with Tebow as a starter we went 3-0 against them, outscoring them 127-37. Plus we beat Miami 30-6 in 2008. The reason we play them is irrelevant. The outcome however is not.
