Summary
College Football Playoff week has arrived and on Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 699 we dive into Alabama vs Oklahoma and Miami vs Texas A&M. Will Kalen DeBoer finally get over the Oklahoma hump or will Brent Venables make it 3-0 vs Alabama? Can Mario Cristobal take Miami to the 2nd round or will Mike Elko have Texas A&M coming out swinging? Which head coach needs a deep run in the CFP the most? Michigan has fired Sherrone Moore and the College Football world is buzzing. Where will the coaching search turn? Could Kalen DeBoer or Kenny Dillingham get the call? Is there a way to fix College Football bowl season? All that plus a look at the Transfer Portal on fire with DJ Lagway, Dylan Raiola, Sam Leavitt, and others entering. We also dive back into the bag of WORST bold predictions and more.
