Josh Pate joins Steve Palazzolo and Sam Monson to preview the 2025 NCAA Football season! From the success of his own Josh Pate's College Football Show to new partnerships with Bussin' with the Boys and FanDuel, Josh has proven to be one of the smartest, most engaging minds in media. Now he's on Check the Mic to convince Sam that the NCAA is as exciting to watch as the NFL.
Josh also breaks down his 2025 playoff predictions, as well as his thoughts on Dabo Swinney & Clemson, Texas Tech's spending spree, the NCAA's new financial landscape, what he'd do as commissioner, and which team Sam should root for.
If you don't watch college football, this episode should convince you to get as excited for the upcoming season as Steve is for his Florida Gators. Stick around to the end, when Steve & Sam break down the Colts' decision to start Daniel Jones Week 1 and how it impacts Anthony Richardson's future.
