In many other seasons, current Suburban Christian Conference Blue football unbeatens Aurora Christian and Marian Central would face off on the field en route to deciding the conference crown.

Because the league adopted an unbalanced schedule for 2012, the only place the Eagles and Hurricanes could possibly meet is atop the standings in a head-scratching tie.

While Aurora Christian will have its hands full at perennial power Montini this week, the prospect of a potential winner-take-all showdown with Marian to close the regular season won’t be. The Eagles host hapless Guerin in Week 9, while the Hurricanes get fellow SCC crossover foe Wheaton Academy, a streaking team in its own right, but not the Eagles.
