Senior Bowl practice- South Team & Tebow watch

3:57 P.M.- Broadcast fo the practice is over. Wish I didn't have to work every day, I'd love to watch this all week. Oh well.

3:53 P.M.- Full on drills, whole teams on the field. Jarrett Brown up first. Complete to Andre Roberts on his first pass. Second play, Dexter McCluster just had a nice run up the middle, and would've taken it in were it not for the whistles.

3:49 P.M.- Just got to see one Tebow pass from his seven on seven, and he almost threw a pick to Darryl Sharpton (Miami). Also took awhile to get his feet set and still had that long wind-up.

3:45 P.M.- Terrence Cody is good enough to just punish some of the best senior O-linemen lining up against him. Two tries, two trips to the backfield for him. Jeff Byers (Southern Cal) keeps getting pushed around by the SEC linemen. If he can't handle SEC guys, he'll have a time trying to handle NFL guys.

3:42 P.M.- Linemen drills right now, Geno Atkins looking good, Brandon Lang (from Troy) had a nice pass rush as well. Ciron Black (LSU) is working like a beast keeping the D-Linemen out of the backfield. Chris Scott (Tennssee) not looking as good. Antonio Coleman (Auburn) just blew by him.

3:38 P.M.- Seven on seven drills, with Zac Robinson up first. Nice completion to Jeremy Williams from Tulane. Joe Webb finally made a catch, but wrapped up quick by Javy Arenas.

3:35 P.M.- Andre Roberts just beat Taylor Mays, ouch. Jarrett Brown throwing now. Terry Coleman just stopped Joe Webb from UAB- Don't think  he's helping himself too much. Cooper also just dropped a pass, followed right away by Dexter McCluster dropping one.

3:31 P.M.- Most of Tebow's incompletions were right on the money. Only completely missed one receiver (Cooper) cause he got tangled up with Taylor Mays. Every other incomplete pass was catchable or knocked out by the defender.

3:29 P.M.- Tebow keeps completing deep throws- Dropped one into Hodge over Trevard Lindley (Kentucky). Joe Webb keeps dropping passes right into his chest. Cooper just made a nice catch being ]covered from Patrick Robinson.

3:26 P.M.- Joe Webb (UAB) just dropped a nicely thrown Tebow passed. Myron Rolle knocked it out. Riley Cooper then beat Nate Allen from USF. Dexter McCluster just ran away from Javier Arenas, Tebow dropped it right into his hands. Cooper just beat Taylor Mays off the line, but got tangled up.

3:25 P.M.- Starting nine on seven drills- Lots of SEC running backs here. Jarrett Brown almost lost a faked handoff. Took it himself for a nice gain the next play.

3:23 P.M.- Tebow with a nice completion on a running throw to a Citadel receiver, name coming as soon as I look it up (Andre Roberts). Jarrett Brown also looking pretty impressive. Robinson has been the least impressive of the QBs thus far.

3:18 P.M.- Tim just threw a bullet to Shay Hodge from Ole Miss, but can we see some other QBs? And here we are, Robinson had a nice throw to Jimmy Graham.

3:16 P.M.- Tebow's back, offensive players practicing some throwing drills- made a nice completion to Staffon Johnson with a nice spiral. Tim just took about one and a half seconds longer to get his feet set to throw. And Cooper just dropped his pass.

3:13 P.M.- Linemen blocking against each other. George Sielve didn't let the O-lineman get to the second level- Terrence Cody did. C.J. Wilson from ECU just got pushed back pretty easily.

3:11 P.M.- Wide receivers/defensive backs practice. The WRs are working on blocking. Riley Cooper is about to go up against Patrick Robinson (from FSU), didn't do bad- held his block long enough for his man to get some yards.

3:08 P.M. - Been listening to the guys talk about Tebow not being an "accurate" quarterback since the broadcast started. Tebow still has a long windup, but it's not as bad. Contrary to yesterday's reports, Tebow looks fine taking snaps from under center. Zac Robinson was the worst out of the three QBs- sailed one pass over his receiever and underthrew one a little bit.

This weekend's previews: #18 Southern Cal @ #24 Notre Dame

The rivalry between the Fighting Irish and the Trojans will be renewed this weekend, as both teams come into the matchup ranked since the 2005 classic.
This is an interesting matchup, as it's a bit hard to get a read on either of these teams. Each team has a loss, though Notre Dame's loss (on the road at Michigan) is arguably better than USC's (on the road at Washington). I know some of you may be barking that USC played that game with their backup quarterback, but with such superior athletes, and against a team that was winless the previous season, USC really had no excuse for losing that game.

First rankings of the season

With six weeks of college football behind us, and the rest of the blogosphere already ripe with rankings, I've decided it's time to throw my hat into the fray. By this point in the season, teams have already begun their conference slates and played some decent non-conference games. I'm one of the camp that thinks it's a bit silly to rank teams early in the season, so don't be surprised if these rankings don't look like the ones you'd find on ESPN. So without further ado, my week 7 rankings.

1. Florida
2. Alabama
3. Texas
4. Virginia Tech
5. Iowa
6. Cincinnati
7. South Florida
8. Miami (FL)
