FBC–ON FOOTBALL-SWEATING OUT BCS.
UNDATED – If the college football season ended today – well, the season doesn’t end today. That may be bad news for Oregon and good news for Hawaii. Neither the Ducks nor the Warriors can claim to control their own destinies in the Bowl Championship Series. Both teams have reasons to be nervous heading into nationally televised games this week – Oregon at Arizona on Thursday night and Hawaii at Nevada on Friday night. By College Football Writer Andrew Bagnato.

FBC–COLLEGE FOOTBALL FOCUS
UNDATED – Since preseason rankings started in 1950, only six teams have entered the season unranked and ended it as national champions. Kansas, Oregon and Missouri all have a chance to do it this season. If the Jayhawks win it all, it could be argued they’re the most unlikely national champion ever. By College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo.
FBC–T25-JUICE’S EVOLUTION.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Juice Williams came to Illinois from the same Southside Chicago high school that produced Dick Butkus, recruited to become the face of coach Ron Zook’s turnaround plan for the Illini. Two months ago, the face of the program sulked after a ho-hum win. Last week at Ohio State, Williams was fulfilling his promise and leading the Illini to their biggest victory in years.
