He is very open about why he doesn't like LSU this year. He doesn't trust the run game. OL specifically. If LSU can run the ball well, he'll change his mind.

Joel Klatt had Texas beating UGA in the SEC champ game and LSU playing in the first round @ND.

ETA: Pate has been very high on Austin Thomas and how well LSU's GM staff has been doing.

Former bama message board mainstay who marries bama football staffer has bama in the sec championship game?!??

It don’t take long to listen to his show to figure out he’s a gump. I just wish he would come out and say it and not act like he’s impartial.

Why does a media member's pick of the SEC Championship bother you? It literally means nothing.

True, but I would think the odds of LSU finishing with 3 losses has to be greater than bama finishing with 3 losses.

We need to poach bama's football scheduler.
Dude is a master at making a crappy schedule look hard.

And Marty Smith has LSU playing Texas for the title. It all depends on who you hear it from.

Pate is a dickhead.

Doesn’t even have Nussmeier on his top 5 quarterbacks going into the season.

He’s a douche.

He has Florida in the CFP and has OU in his top 10. Could be right.. I just don't share the same hype.


His power rating list was fricking trash. Had Miami, Florida, and Oklahoma all rated higher than LSU.

There’s not a book out there that would have those three teams favored over LSU.

False. She’s an LSU alum who’s a Bama fan

So what. Josh Pate needs to quit wearing the same shirt. His sponsors aren't handing out some new digs?

Pay no attention to people that are willing to predict the winner of a game 5 months from now....seriously!

He's right. Just because OU will already have 6 losses doesn't mean they can't keep getting eliminated.

Joel Klatt has LSU losing to Clemson, Bama, missing SEC championship but still sliding in. Then playing Notre Dame and losing to them with a "no chance to win" playing ND at home. I laughed. ND better worry about even making it this year because luck of the irish isn't going to follow them every year.

Who cares what Josh Pate thinks before a down has been played?
