My first official weekend of college football!

Prior to Week 0, I was planning on giving you guys a season preview but, due to time and higher priority coverage, I wasn’t able to do so. Then I was gearing up to give my first set of picks of the season for Week 1, but my area ended up getting wiped out by Hurricane Idalia and I was left without power for five days. Hey, that’s Florida for ya.

But here we are, ladies and gentlemen! Week 2 and I finally get to make some college football picks!

And what a way for me to kick off my campaign, with the headliner of the weekend being the matchup of two historical programs, Alabama and Texas. And both teams need a win at that. For Alabama, a victory would help them shut up some of the doubters out there regarding the direction of the Crimson Tide. Texas, on the other hand, needs a victory of this magnitude to help them restore credibility in terms of a national championship. Needless to say, it’s a huge game.

The second and third centerpieces of the weekend are the square offs between Nebraska vs. Colorado and Texas A&M vs. Miami. Will Deion Sanders continue the magic with the Buffaloes and get another big dub? Will my Miami Hurricanes finally get back on the road to glory? (RELATED: Thank The Heavens! The NFL Is Back!
