Dan Mullen Predicts Huge College Football Upset on Saturday

Former college football head coach and current ESPN analyst Dan Mullen recently shared his Week 2 picks, predicting a major upset for the ACC over the SEC.

Mullen is mostly riding with the favorites, picking Texas over Michigan, Arkansas over Oklahoma State, Iowa over Iowa State, Nebraska over Colorado, and Kansas State over Tulane.

The ESPN analyst's only upset comes with the No. 24 NC State Wolfpack taking down the Tennessee Volunteers. The two will be playing a neutral site matchup at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte North Carolina.

A matchup between the ACC and SEC has the Volunteers as a 8.5-point favorites to win the game.

Tennessee is coming into the game with all the hype around quarterback Nico Iamaleava. The 6-foot-6 signal caller led the Volunteers to a 69-3 victory over Chattanooga in Week 1.

Iamaleava recorded three touchdowns on 314 yards with a 78.6 completion percentage. He's considered to be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, playing his second year of college football.

Despite Iamaleava inching his way toward the Heisman conversation, Dan Mullen believes the Wolfpack have something coming for Tennessee.

NC State has been a quality team for the past few years, largely due to their defensive core. They may have lost vital pieces like Payton Wilson, but the Wolfpack still have a couple of ultra-talented playmakers like Ja'Had Carter and Aydan White.

Tennessee may be listed as heavy favorites, but Mullen believes the Wolfpack can get the job done and complete the upset in the neutral site matchup.
