Summary
Stand back as Take-a-Toa, our volcano of molten college football takes, erupts for the first time in over a year! In this college football podcast episode, we're welcoming Josh Pate from Josh Pate's College Football Show for a scorching session of hot takes that will have you questioning everything you think you know about the 2025 season.
Josh delivers a stunning ACC prediction that involves "hateful three-stars" and a program most people are sleeping on, while Dan forecasts a looming coaching exodus that could reshape the sport. Meanwhile, Ty makes a bold LSU comparison that will make SEC fans nervous and goes all-in on another FCS transfer quarterback. (What else is new?)
We explore why one SEC powerhouse might have a "fantastic" season despite disappointing records, which Big Ten offense could see a surprise jump, and how Missouri's dream schedule could lead to CFP chaos. Plus, the Verballerhood chimes in with a Lincoln Riley take so wild it breaks our brains.
This is your guide to the wildest possibilities in what could be college football's most unpredictable season yet.
