So stop listening. There are so many CFB guys out there that you can listen to instead. Btw he had LSU as his #3 team in the country in his actual rankings last week. If you actually listened you would know that.

Every week someone on here posts his power ratings without knowing what it actually is just so they can get pissed off. It’s hilarious. And it’s people like the OP that are the reason that he keeps doing his dumbass power rating.




you are asking way way too much from the tards here.

It's amazing how quickly a college fanbase will break out the pitch forks and torches on a pundit the moment their opinions become different and they stop fondling your favorite team.

It's such a stupid fricking impetus. There is nothing wrong with Josh Pate. They're just opinions. Get over yourselves.

The thing is that these aren’t even his opinions, it’s what the computer model spit out. He even said that he hated this week’s list. To get angry about this is either denial, willful ignorance, or both.

At least wait until he shares his rankings to get mad because those are his actual opinions.

It’s only clickbait if you allow it to be. He clearly states in his tweet that power ratings are not rankings, but here we are talking about it for the 5th straight week.
The reactions to this poll week after week really is a microcosm of how dumb sports fan bases, in particular college fanbases, actually are.

Exactly. A lot of folks are furious about his stadium rankings tho. I mean he attended the 2022 Bama/TN. How could he not have recency bias towards that?

It’s a worthless rankings as games aren’t played on neutral fields, it’s always a lean one way or the other.

Well, there is no way he can explain that the games are actively managed BECAUSE of gambling money. He mentioned it, but in the sense that the gambling is a fair game as well. It is not. Those in charge tilt things to maximize their profit. A group called the Tong does this in lower level soccer matches.

The amount of money at stake precludes the possibility that these are truly unamalgamated contests.

The Fix is In

I’ve been saying this dude is a turd for a few years now. Don’t know why so many people follow him.

I want to say he was a big believer in the 2019 team and hyped us early on that season before most of the national media took notice.
I started tuning him out because he takes after Cowherd too much and says stuff like “I’ve heard a big rumor that no one else knows about because people I’ve talked to down at X school have told me and no one else”

I think he gets so much info from inside a building and he runs with it. Same thing he did when they told him the portal cycle 2 years ago was going to be crazy and it wasn’t.


I don’t think he gets shite from inside a building.

He knows people at FanDuel that he reaches out to to get feedback on hypothetical spreads.
He knows people everywhere, and still makes terrible decisions and picks that sounded terrible when he made them in the first place. If I could pick and make stuff with the knowledge he gets behind the scenes, I'd kill all my picks.

Oh no. I’d love to see all of your preseason predictions. I’m sure the are all correct.
i can tell you right now that Clemson, Nebraska and Arizona St were not in my plauoff picks.

I'll say this, Penn St does not look as good as I thought, Miami looks better than I thought, FSU beating Bama is not what I expected, BUT i did expect them to be much better, and Texas Tech whooping Utah is not something I had on my bingo card. Everything else is in my range of expectations except for Clemson already having three losses. I 100% thought Clemson was overrated as hell and made a thread that went like 3-4 pages on here about how they are not as good as people were saying, but I thought they'd lose 2 games in addition to the LSU loss and finish 9-3. They'll be lucky to finish 8-4 now.
