I am having a difficult time getting my obd2 in the ready state for emissions testing.. I just replaced a faulty MAF Sensor, the CEL is now out but after driving 180 miles over three days the scanner still says 2nd Air NOT READY.. any ideas?

If your OBD II says not ready then their are likely faults or pending faults.
You would need to post those faults here for anyone to help you - otherwise folks would be shooting in the dark.

Loren,
I had codes 1128 and 1130 with a CEL, I have replaced the MAF Sensor, the codes and the CEL have been gone for about 180 miles but the 2nd air says NOT READY... all others say ready

If you oil separator shooting a light mist of oil in the engine compartment?

So, if you currently have no codes then you are waiting for the number drive cycles to clear the ready state. I have seen this take anywhere from a few days to a week of driving. I do not know of any shortcut around this - I think they intentionally put the delay in so that you couldn't temporarily fix something - pass inspection - then have the fault again.
I think you just need to drive the car more until the ready state comes up all ok (happy faces).

Loren is 100% correct just drive the car or if you are way to frustrated there is a specific drive cycle you can preform that will set everything. The dealer can give this to you if they share info.

The dealer can run a short test for ya.

after 500 miles and still not ready I decided to take my chances and bring it it for the emissions test.. and it passed.. go figure...

In NC, anything from 1996 to 2000 can have 2 tests not done, and 2001+ can have one not done.
