That is something that the haters like to throw out, but I am of a differing opinion. The media, in all of their self-righteousness, decided to jump a couple of Big 10 teams over Nebraska while all we did was win, and with rare exception, win big. Why, do you ask? Well, I think that the media 1) got tired of Nebraska kicking everyone's asses, we never were a media favorite 2) likes to take down people that are well respected and revered, especially when that person is a Christian (see Tom Osborne, Tim Tebow) and 3) it was backlash for the Lawrence Phillips/Christian Peter/etc, situations from years past.

I disagree with #2, I don't think the media tried to take down Tebow, quite the opposite, I remember the media talking him up like he was Jesus himself, declaring him the greatest football player ever. The general public doesn't hate Tebow because he's Christian, the general public is Christian. They hate him because he's a raging doucher. Kurt Warner is uber Christian, but he's not a raging doucher. Therefore the general public doesn't seem to mind him.
