Summary

College Football just saw a wild ending to the 2026 season with Indiana winning the CFP title. What does 2026 have in store? On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 707 Josh Pate offers up his feelings about early top 25 rankings. The Transfer Portal continues to cook as we look at the latest whispers and intel with the Portal now closed but big names on the move. How do we go about fixing the College Football calendar? Tonight we look at plenty of feedback from Tuesday’s show as we explore changing the College Football Playoff structure and moving the national title game to January 1st while trying to save bowl season. All that plus the mailbag is open and we take a look at a major winter storm taking aim at the eastern half of the United States.

like across-the-board agreement, aside from the canals of the world, about our proposals to overhaul the college football calendar. Specifically, how do we stop playing national championship games January 25th? Yeah, that's what it's scheduled to be this time next year. How do we, how do we say bowl season, you know, do these sorts of things? And we had a lot of proposals and we got a lot of feedback. So I'm going to go over that. We've got a very, very early top 25 for the 2020s season to talk

And even if you think you are, even if you're listening to me saying, I get so tired of him saying that, I understand. I get tired of saying it, too. However, as you're worn out by it, make sure you are subscribed yourself because some of you think you are and you're not. All right, let's dive into the show tonight.
