We’re moving to the blog this year

I wasn’t terribly excited about the start of the college football season a week ago. Much of that can probably be blamed upon the fact that I knew I would  miss all of Week 1 while I was in Charlotte at the DNC. It was a very strange experience. I don’t find myself disconnected from college football, well, ever. I was concerned that it would affect my feelings toward the entire season.

Then I looked at this week’s schedule. Yes, there are no matchups between ranked teams. But there are a slew of really intriguing games today. So without further ado, lets get the Mid-Atlantic Bias College Football Picks started, albeit a week late, with my Week 2 selections. A reminder, I use Danny Sheridan’s Saturday morning lines. The “Upset Special” is me picking an underdog to win outright. The “Wippich Special” find me picking the UNC game for the UNC fan (and MAB reader) Jason Wippich.

On to Week 2:

Auburn (+3) over Mississippi State (UPSET SPECIAL)
Virginia (-9.5) over Penn State
Kansas State (-7) over Miami (FL)
Florida (PK) over Texas A&M
Nebraska (-4.5) over UCLA
Washington (+24) over LSU
Georgia (-1.5) over Missouri
Illinois (+4) over Arizona State
Arizona (+11) over Oklahoma State
North Carolina (-10) over Wake Forest (WIPPICH SPECIAL)
