Steve Spurrier recently confirmed upon appearing at the SEC media days that he was in fact the person that snubbed the Florida Gators player Tim Tebow during the coach's voting for the preseason All-SEC player team.

Ole Mississippi football coach, Houston Nutt, says that he voted for Tebow as All-SEC. He also talked about what made quarterback Jevan Snead so great, and the pressure on for Old Miss to really step up and compete for a championship in the conference.

But it was because of a complete oversight, according to the South Carolina coach, who addressed the matter immediately during a new conference. Spurrier went on to explain that the director of football operations filled the ballot out and then brought it into him. He said that he just glanced at it, signing off on it, and did not realize the mistake that had been made until later.

The ballot that was submitted to the SEC on the behalf of South Carolina had listed Mississippi's Snead as the first team quarterback, rather than Tebow. Spurrier is taking full responsibility, and is putting emphasis on his belief that Tebow was one of the best quarterbacks in all of Florida history. He claims to be embarrassed about it, feeling badly that it happened, and he has apologized to Tebow.

The SEC associate-commissioner, Charles Bloom, has confirmed to ESPN.com that Spurrier made a call within the last 24 hours asking how his ballot could be changed in order to list Tebow as the quarterback for the first time. Spurrier told Charles Bloom that his initial ballot was a mistake when it listed Snead as the quarterback for the first team.

Each of the other coaches has confirmed on record that Tebow was voted for. Coaches could not vote for their own players, meaning that a unanimous vote would constitute 11 out of the 12 votes. The only unanimous selection for the preseason team were offensive tackle Ciron Black from LSU, safety Eric Berry from Tennessee and receiver Julio Jones from Alabama.
