Josh Pate picks Miami

He prefaces his picks by saying that while he had previously picked ND to win it all, he's heard some things in the recent offseason that caused him to re-evaluate . In particular, he's heard some things about Miami that has caused him to change his original thinking...

Wouldn't be surprised if he's made some "quiet" trips to practice...

Just in case anyone was wondering how last season’s preseason picks aged.
 
I remember the times when we would long for this type of national recognition. Ride the wave boys. He's right. We do have the best team in college football (not gaslighting). We are deep at every position group. Our staff is elite and they all came back and locked in for multiple years. It's also the '01 Hurricane team 25th Anniversary....we winning the Natty!

As long as you just listen to Josh weekly, in the moment, and never track his predictions he sounds like a genius

In hindsight, his rankings, predictions, and lists are some of the worst in the entire sport.

Hmm this is getting me even more hyped. Its probably most likely tied to mensah or the edges

Indiana, Oregon, Ole Miss and Miami. I doubt many people had two of those correct.

Thank you. It is so annoying to see people critique someone making picks 5 months ahead time. If he was that good at making picks, he would be a professional gambler.

The argument I have heard from Bama people is their lines of scrimmage have been fixed with transfers from the portal and the new QB is very good.

I listen to most of his stuff. It’s decent background filler. I put little to no stock into what he predicts. He does put out one of the few pro Miami shows out there nationally, so naturally that’s part of the draw.

But yea, he almost went 0 for in the CFP last year. His picks were all over the place.

I don't think people get sports shows. Most professional gamblers don't even get it right 55% of the time. People don't watch Josh pate for his predictions, they watch because they are CFB junkies and they just want to hear someone talk about CFB and Pate is one of the best at doing that on a national level. I don't listen to DMoney or whatever other Miami guys because I think they are good at predicting the Miami season win total, I listen because I want to hear someone talk about Miami, of course predictions comes with that, but that's not why people listen.

And I don't even listen to Pate regularly but I still hear him making fun of himself for how often he is wrong, especially when he is really wrong. If he was someone making himself out to be some pickem guru but constantly being wrong, then that's another story. But his schtick is just, "I'm a guy who loves CFB, lets talk CFB."

😂 agreed, he did have OSU in 24 winning it all. He had a good beat on us last year. Hopefully he’s right this year too.

ATS they don't. Straight up its not farfetched to go 70% or better. I'm not picking on his model or his picks ATS.

His QB rankings, playoff predicitions, etc. from 2025 are as bad as any that have ever been released publicly by anyone with a platform. Alabama winning it all, Florida and Nebraska in the playoff. Lagway was the best QB in the country, etc.

At least he owns it. If I watch its for the discussion that he's elite at and definitely cutting it off for any rankings/lists lol
