The BCS Championship game gave Alabama a victory, but it might have been Katherine Webb that garnered the spotlight of the night.
Webb, girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, was highlighted by the ESPN commentators as "beautiful" and "gorgeous" and how lucky McCarron is.
The brief moment on television, which was seen by over 26 million viewers, saw Webb's presence on social media skyrocket. Her Twitter account went from 2,300 followers to 231,224 as of Dec. 9.
Webb has garnered fan and media attention, even by Donald Trump who tweeted on inviting Webb to be a judge on Saturday's Miss America 2013 pageant. Webb is familiar with the pageant scene as she participated in the Miss USA 2012 competition as Miss Alabama, but finished in the Top 10.
