5-at-10: Wednesday watch list, more Rice, Braves and Rushmore of sports scandals

From the “Talks too much” studios, seeing is believing. Let’s see. And believe.

College football Wednesday watch

Here are five items we are interested in across all of college football:

– As TFP ace columnist Mark Wiedmer notes here, the Mocs need a win. Desperately. That should not be an issue this week against an Austin Peay team that is overmatched. But a loss would crippling.

– Interesting story line from The Citadel where offensive lineman Victor Hill has been suspended for saying he purposefully went at the knees of FSU players. Hill has been suspended for “inappropriate comments he made on social media” according to The Citadel. Uh, how about suspending him for going after opponents’ knees. (Side note: Three FSU defensive linemen left the game with leg injuries.)

– Tennessee’s a three-touchdown underdog going to Oklahoma. We are leaning toward laying the points, not because the Sooners are supremely more talented than the Vols (they are more talented and way more experienced). No, we’re leaning toward taking the Sooners because Bob Stoops hates the SEC and would love nothing more than dropping a 49-14 win on any SEC foe.
