Josh Pate On BOLDEST College Football 2024 Predictions (Late Kick Cut)

Intro bold predictions something we do on this show every single night this time of year the things that you claim you believe so much you would bet your own money and in some cases you send me screenshots of betting slips so whether you screenshot your prediction or not past T screenshot uh we're here for you and we're here to hear this first up tonight it's a bold prediction here Ohio Ohio State State made some moves in the portal Drew said Ohio State's running back duo will each have a th000 plus yards on the ground this season so that's trayon Henderson and Quin Shawn Judkins Trevon had 926 on the ground last year and he didn't play the whole season uh jins had a little over 1100 at Old Miss how common do you think this is how many times will teams have multiple thousand yard rushers it hasn't happened at the power five level since 2020 trivia who was it whomst was it which team had 2,000 yard rushers on the same Squad in 2020 that was University of North Carolina hm so it hasn't happened since then only 45 players entirely had a, yards last year so we're asking for two of them to be on the same team here I still only make this an eight and a half on the boldness scale because I think I I actually am with you I think this will happen and think about what we have working against us number one it's just really hard to do number two will Howard's the quarterback there this year he is also a runner so he may take some of that carry and yardage workload away thirdly you got to keep both guys healthy fourthly uh is there a four oh yeah I'll tell you fourthly the one thing we have going for us is Ohio State probably plays with a lead a lot and they're looking to shorten games therefore they're looking to run the ball a little bit more the rare fifthly here fifthly truth be told this should be their style of play this year they can to bludgeon you and they're capable of doing it so it's an8 and a half on the boldness scale for me and I want some of that action immunity so I'm with you next up why does he say immunity so much Georgia someone asked in the live chat the other day well if you've ever had a that's what she said dropped on you you understand you got to say immunity beforehand and they're not allowed to say it to you and if that's still confusing don't worry about it next up from Pendergrass Georgia Georgia beats Bama Texas and Old Miss all on the road by double digits you know what Jesse I didn't see that last little part there by double digits so that changes things significantly we've got a 9.75 on our hands here georg's not beating those three teams by double digits there's an there's a definitive statement in July for the haters who say I never make it uh Georgia's in a new world here you know Georgia um not that they're not Premier in every sense of the word is a program but this schedule is about to be a different world for Georgia moving forward too since you don't get to Feast on the SEC East anymore uh they go so to Alabama they're going to be about a three and a half Point favorite as it stands right now about a field goal or so favored at Alabama they go to Texas they will as of now be favored they're favored by one and a half at Texas right now they look to be favored by somewhere between four and five points at ol Miss as of now and they're going to win all three of those by double digits well I don't think they are I don't think they're going to win all three of the games much less by double digits so 9.75 on the boldness scale for me there that will be viewed in some parts of my home state as disrespect uh next up we have a 10 we have a 10 listen to this Travis Colorado Virginia Tech Hometown Lynchburg Virginia making a statement that Travis quite frankly I am not sure you have placed your own hard-earned money on but nevertheless Colorado and Virginia Tech make the playoff uh this is a 10 so it's not going to happen but both of them making the playoff if you did parlay that one of the most evil words in the English speaking language parlay $10 would return a little over $2,700 so that's what FanDuel thinks about it in other words they are begging for that $10 bill because they can apparently spend it wiser than you can Virginia Tech's over under wi total is eight and a half they are plus 950 to make the playoff they have the sixth best odds to win the ACC that's already along shot we have to have them win that thing or make the playoff and then we also have to have Colorado with an over under win total at 5 and a half with the 11th best odds to win the Big 12 plus 2500 to make the playoff we have to have both of them make it side note side note did you notice that Colorado has the 11th best odds to win their own conference but they are a top 20 team for EA Sports is anyone noticing the discrep no just me okay that's a 10 I don't know what else to say that's a 10 and Travis I'm going to need to see the screenshot on the BET betting slip because I'm not sure if I know you like I think I do although we've never met that you believe that next up now what would have SEC Playoff to happen for this to go down Stan out of Knoxville said a 10-2 SEC team gets left out of the playoff well um where is this happening first off and no matter where it happens how did it happen I've got to believe there is no world where the SEC is down and a 10 to two team is left out because that would mean you have a shortage of SEC teams in the playoff which means they're looking for anybody worth anything and 10 and two would more than get you in so the only way this happens is that the sec's loaded this year and there's a whole bunch of 12 and0 or 11- one or a bunch of 10- two and one of the 10- two teams on the periphery gets left out in the the cold just because there wasn't room for them because there were too many SEC teams this probably also means Notre Dame took up a spot they're in the Big 10 was probably strong and there were just enough quality teams to where a 10- two SEC got left out I don't think a 10 and two SEC is getting left out so this is a 9.25 on the boldness scale and if a 10-2 SEC team does get left out can you imagine Oklahoma going 10 and two and they lost to Texas so Texas is in the SEC championship game against Georgia or someone like that so U goes 10- two they did everything that you asked of them far above and beyond you think the barometer to make the playoff and they're out so that Liberty can go to the playoff can you imagine the warranted outrage in Norman Oklahoma yeah so that's a 9.75 for me [Music]
