FBC–MOUNT UNION’S DYNASTY
ALLIANCE, Ohio – The two trophy cases inside the Mount Union athletic facility are packed. Gleaming trophies, big plaques, glittering national championship rings – all for the football team.

BC-FBC–COLLEGE FB FOCUS
UNDATED – Tim Tebow is gaining momentum. Darren McFadden is slipping. Andre Woodson is up one week and down the next. Dennis Dixon is still having trouble getting noticed.

STATE COLLEGE – High school linebackers aspiring to play at the next level might want to watch top-ranked Ohio State and No. 24 Penn State play Saturday night.

FBC–T25-GEORGIA’S ALBATROSS
ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia is tied for first in the Southeastern Conference East, but don’t get too excited, Bulldog fans. It’s time to play Florida, that annual albatross of a game that hangs over the Georgia program like a bad cold. Over the last 17 years, the Gators have won 15 times, which makes this supposed rivalry one of the most lopsided in the country. By Paul Newberry.
