Summary
Josh Pate’s national championship pick is here. Will Ohio State and Notre Dame make it back or could teams like Alabama, Oregon, UGA, Penn State, Clemson, or Texas make a charge? On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 650 we discussed that plus more bold predictions for the season. Could Arch enter the Transfer Portal? What about an Ohio State vs Notre Dame rematch in the CFP title game? Could FSU beat Alabama and go on to the ACC title game? We also get the latest whispers and intel from fall camps including USC, Texas A&M, Arizona State, and Missouri.

| 0:25.7 | We got games happening very, very soon, which means we get to test theories. Do you remember the cattle prod theory? For those of you who have been around here a little while, you may remember |
| 0:28.9 | the cattle prod theory. Just one of many theories that we teach here at Pate State University. If you're |

| 0:55.6 | Well, I'll give the SEC credit. |
| 0:58.0 | They did it. |
| 0:59.0 | They went to nine league games per year, at least next year they will, and they did it |
| 1:03.4 | before the season starts. |
| 1:04.7 | We always appreciate getting the non-football stuff out of the way before the football starts. |
| 1:09.6 | So to Greg Sankey, we bow. |
| 1:12.7 | National championship picks on the show tonight. |
| 1:15.4 | We've messed around long enough. |
| 1:16.7 | As I told you last week, I can't have Iowa State play a game |
| 1:20.4 | and then make my national championship pick |
| 1:23.3 | because then it wouldn't be fair if they go on to win the national championship. |
| 1:26.8 | And I think we all understand there's at least a 50-50 shot any given year. |
| 1:30.0 | Iowa State wins at all. |
