Summary
College Football top 25 discussion is here for the 2026 season. On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 710 Josh Pate discussed the placement of Indiana and Miami fresh off their national title matchup. What about Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State in the Big Ten? Where are teams like Texas, Alabama, UGA, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Florida in the SEC? Speaking of the SEC, tonight we go over the SEC schedule including Florida having a more workable path and LSU facing a tough road. What do we think about the current state of College Football and whether it makes any sense to compare the CFP to college basketball. Josh also gets called out for defending Dabo Swinney after recent allegations of tampering. The Mood Tracker segment continues tonight with a look at Mike Norvell and FSU. All that plus the cautionary lesson all of us could learn from attending a showing of The Housemaid.

| 1:18.6 | talk to a lot of people that I would call maybe dabbo haters, maybe me haters. There's a lot of anger. |
| 1:26.6 | You scratch that. There's a lot of aggressiveness in the |
| 1:28.8 | mailbag that we uncovered. And it has to do with Davoswini. I just feel like the arrow went past |
| 1:33.8 | Davo's ear straight into my chest. So I'm going to sound like I'm carrying water for Davo tonight, |
| 1:40.2 | which we all know. I'm all about around here. Dabobo, big friend of the program that he's never been on. |
