It's week #2 in the SoCon, and it's Monday, so it's SoCon football picks day.
Once again, the schedule is mainly out of conference games, but the SoCon did sneak one conference game in this week, as the Catamounts will travel to Charleston to meet The Citadel.
Good Luck to all the conference teams playing in out of conference contests.

Mars Hill (0-1) at Chattanooga (0-1, 0-1 Home) 1:00 pm ET
After a tough week in Cullowhee, the Mars Hill Lions must now travel to Chattanooga to face a very pissed off Mocs team. This would not be a good week to have to play the Mocs, as they will take out their frustrations after their narrow loss to JSU. Mocs in a blow out, 56-10
Morehead State (0-1, 0-1 Away) at VMI (0-1, 0-0 Home) 1:30 pm ET
After a 56-7 thumping by James Madison in Harrisonburg last week, the Morehead State Eagles (Pioneer League) will now travel to Lexington to meet a reinvigorated VMI Keydet team looking for their first win of the season. New head coach Scott Wachenhelm picks up his first victory as the Keydets roll to a 49-14 victory.
Florida A&M (0-1, 0-1 Away) at Samford (1-0, 1-0 Home) 3:00 pm ET
In week one, the FAMU Rattlers dropped their season opener 51-3 to the USF Bulls. In week two, it does not get a great deal better for the Rattlers, as they travel to Birmingham to meet the Samford Bulldogs. Samford remains undefeated as they rack up a 42-10 victory.
Furman (0-1, 0-0 Away) at Virginia Tech (0-0, 0-0 Home) 3:30 pm ET
The Paladins travel to Virginia Tech on Saturday, to play a team that is also playing Ohio State on Monday (9-7-15) of the same week. While Tech does not have a full week to prepare for the Paladins, it doesn't change the final outcome. Hokies win, 42-10
Stetson (1-0, 0-0 Away) at Mercer (1-0, 0-0 Home) 6:00 pm ET
The Stetson Hatters are coming off a 42-13 victory over Webber International last Saturday, but run into the buzz saw this week in Macon. The Bears also remain undefeated as they roll to a 49-21 victory over the Hatters of the Pioneer League.
Western Carolina (1-0, 0-0 Conf) at The Citadel (1-0, 0-0 Conf) 6:00 pm ET
League play opens for the Bulldogs and Catamounts this Saturday, and both enter the game undefeated over inferior opponents in their opening games. However, the Cats realize their goal of a championship ring for this group of seniors, goes straight through Charleston. The Bulldogs are hoping to prove last years win by the Catamounts was just a fluke, and is looking to return to the days of Bulldog superiority over the Cats. However, Troy Mitchell and the other Catamount seniors have other plans, Cats win a hard fought battle, 31-24.
Tennessee Tech (0-1, 0-1 Away) at Wofford (0-1, 0-0 Home) 7:00 pm ET
The Tenn Tech Golden Eagles will travel to Spartanburg this weekend, off a 52-24 loss at Houston on 9-3-15. With both teams coming off big losses to BCS teams, this game may end up with a final score closer than many would have thought prior to the season. The Terrier have something to prove to themselves, and look to protect the home field, and edge out the Golden Eagles, 35-28 win.
Bonus game
Maryville TN (0-0) at East Tennessee State (0-1, 0-1 Home) 7:30 pm
The Bucs take out some frustration on Division III Maryville College. ETSU rolls over the Fighting Scots 35-10.
