Both entering their much-anticipated junior seasons this fall, Tim Tebow and Matt Stafford have been linked for much of the past seven years. The SEC QBs are often mentioned in the same breath, whether uttered in civilized dinner table discussions or heated sports bar debates.

As high school stars, their respective resumes read like a pig-skinned version of "Everything You Can, I Can Do Better." Tebow was Florida's Mr. Football, a participant in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Game and a Parade All-American. Stafford, meanwhile, won the MVP and "Best Arms" awards at the 2005 EA Elite 11 Quarterback Camp, as well as the EA Sports National Player of the Year. He, like Tebow, was a Parade All-American.

When Tebow chose to attend Florida and Stafford signed his letter of intent with Georgia in the winter of 2006, their fates were sealed. They'd be pitted against each other for the next four years of their lives. On top of four dates in Jacksonville at The World's Largest Cocktail Party, they'd now be under center for opposing sides in arguably the richest rivalry in the South.

On paper, Tebow has had the more decorated college career thus far. The only sophomore to ever win a Heisman Trophy, the single-season SEC touchdown record, the nation's No. 2-ranked QB in passing efficiency last season and a key member of the 2006 BCS champion Gators squad — Tebow is quite arguably the most accomplished college football player two years into a career ... ever.

But Georgia fans will point to wins, losses and the big-game performances. And to be certain, Stafford's Bulldogs had a better season than Tebow's Gators in 2007, the first year both young men started at quarterback from start to finish.

Two seasons into his NCAA career, the Georgia QB is 17-4 as a starter, with eight of those 17 wins coming over Top 25 teams. Tebow's career record as a starter, meanwhile, is "just" 9-4. Stafford is 2-0 as a starter in postseason bowl games; Tebow is 0-1. Head to head as starters, Stafford gets the nod, as he threw for 3 touchdowns in last season's 42-30 whitewashing of the Tebow-led Gators in Jacksonville.

With Tebow the clear-cut preseason favorite to repeat and win the Heisman Trophy in 2008, Stafford looms in the distance as a relative long shot.

The kid from Dallas is not thinking about the Heisman, though. He's thinking about Georgia Southern, UGA's first opponent of the 2008 season.

"My goal is to be focused and completely prepared to play game No. 1," Stafford said. "The only thing any of us are concentrating on right now is preparing to play Georgia Southern. But our goal every year as a team is to win a national championship. "

Of course, that's not to say Tebow's exactly concerned about individual accolades, either. He's been there, done that.

When asked about the prospects of becoming just the second repeat winner of a Heisman Trophy, his response is blunt.

"I've learned that the Heisman Trophy and all the records don't really change who you are, but they do change other people's perception of you," he said. "My focus has never changed from faith, family, academics and then football — in that order.

"Our goal each year is to win the SEC East and compete for the conference title. Anything can happen from there, but you've got to focus on getting to Atlanta."

Both UGA and UF will be ranked as Top 10 teams when the polls are released this summer, with most lists likely placing the 'Dawgs in the top three and the Gators somewhere in the No. 6-10 range. Come this year's Cocktail Party on Nov. 1, an SEC East title — and quite possibly a spot in the national title game — could be at stake. Leading up to that one, the Tebow-Stafford debate will be as widespread and as heated as its ever been. An argument that's been somewhat limited to fans of the SEC should take the nation by storm throughout the week of hype leading up to the clash.

Adding another interesting wrinkle to the whole Stafford-Tebow rivalry is what's ahead for each of them. Though both players are only juniors in '08, they're widely considered the top two pro prospects at their position in the college game. In all but a few 2009 mock drafts and top prospect lists, Stafford is rated ahead of the All-American Tebow.

NFLDraftScout.com draft guru Rob Rang explains, "Tebow flashes all of the skills necessary to become a franchise quarterback — the size, arm strength, poise and work ethic — but hasn't yet proven the consistent accuracy as a downfield passer needed in the NFL."

Rang adds, "And though Stafford lacks Tebow's unique ability as a runner, he is a more polished passer. He plays in a more traditional offense that aids in his development as an NFL quarterback. This fact, combined with his greater accuracy and arm strength, makes him a better NFL prospect than Tebow at this point in their respective careers."

Those in the "Tebow will be a better pro" camp fervently disagree with those sentiments, arguing that Tebow could be a drop-back passer if he wanted, but that it's just not the nature of the Florida offense.

The Tebow-Stafford debate will rage on this fall and the rivalry will only gain more steam as the two players mature.

Yet, as much as it may disappoint the passionate fans of both programs, neither kid has a bad thing to say about the other. No, they're not best friends, playing X-Box online and writing to each other on MySpace. But they're not exactly arch-enemies either.

Tebow refers to Stafford as "a great guy," while Stafford explains, "I have always had a ton of respect for Tim and obviously he is one of the best out there. He's a really good player on the field and a good guy off of it."

Not quite the vitriol you'd imagine from lifelong rivals.

Then again, like its two protagonists, this rivalry's still very young.

I guess we'll have to just stay tuned.

Meh. Bradford is built a lot like Brady. In fact, I think he has a bigger frame. He's still only 20, and you can tell he's much thicker through the arms and shoulders than Croyle. He's listed at 218, I'd say looking at that video he's probably 210, but he could definitely get up to 220-5.

I love it when over the hill writers try to be hip.

"No, they aren't playing on X-Box Online."
