It is once again time to get weekly picks going for this season. Preseason picks are in the books, and we will be revisiting those in a few months, so in the meantime week 1 picks are starting to come in. We will be updating this post for the next few days with more weekday picks, and as always we will be back Saturday morning for all of those delicious Saturday morning picks from College Gameday, SEC Nation, Dari & Mel, and whoever else shows up.
