Josh Pate On College Football's Biggest WHAT-IF's In 2024 - Part 6 (Late Kick Cut)

College Football teams are in summer workouts with fall camp around the corner and all eyes on the upcoming 2024 season, and on Late Kick Live Ep 529 Josh Pate discussed the biggest what-ifs the sport has to answer this fall. What if the expanded College Football Playoff sees only 1 team from conferences like the ACC or Big12? Who got left out? FSU, Miami, Clemson, maybe even all of them? Could Kansas get elite QB play this season? What happens if Michigan beats Ohio State for a fourth consecutive season?

*Fun fact:* Michigan's 3-game win streak comes off the end of Ohio State's 8-game win streak, their longest in the series (Michigan has a 9-game from 1901-1909).
*Fun fact:* Michigan and OSU didn't play each other from 1913-1917 (WW1 time frame) but did play during WW2.

What if there are 3 unbeaten teams at the end of the regular season in either for both the SEC and/or B1G?

While expectations for OSU are typically high, they're not as often "they should win it all this year". This year, with that talent, with Michigan taking a step back, and with a cupcake schedule the expectation this year is a title. That said, if they lose to Michigan and fail to make the playoffs, Day is toast. If they lose to Michigan but beat them in the playoffs or the BCG then the counter is reset and everything's rosy in Columbus. Even the opposite is true. Where it gets interesting is they lose to Michigan but then win the title without playing them again, which is possible. Common sense is the counter is reset and he's considered even ground with Urban who in all his years with OSU only delivered one title.
As noted in the video, rivalries, especially arch-rivalries like this where the entire year focuses on the one team, erode common sense into fanatical insanity

What if orji/tuttle is better than howard?

Not sure why its almost universally assumed howard is so much of an upgrade over mccord when the stats don't show it. Sure, mccord had better weapons, but howard played B12 defenses not B10. There's a reason he was going to lose the starting job at k state. There's also a reason michigan didn't even pursue a QB in the portal.

Ohio's offense goes through their passing game. Even with good RBs, behind their shaky oline it will have to again this year and they lost harrison to bail them out. Michigan's offense does not. They just need solid QB play. A guy that can manage games, convert on 3rd downs, and extend plays with his legs.

I have a gut feeling ohio fans are going to be missing mccord and/or calling for one of their freshman QBs before the end of the season.

If Ohio state can’t beat Michigan this year, I don’t think they will ever beat them in the near future based on Urban Meyer (this is the most talented Ohio state roster maybe ever)

If OSU loses to UM for a fourth straight time, in the 'Shoe no less, there will be no illogical conversation about an illogical situation. He will be relieved - possibly before the playoff even begins. Strangely... if the Buckeyes somehow falter this year and miss the playoff, but beat UM to end the season - I believe he would remain. To anyone besides an OSU fan, that would be an illogical conversation about an illogical situation, but on a national level only.

A michigan win is obviously important but I feel that going on the road and winning at Oregon is a more impressive feat for Ryan Day.

[DougSteinhauser]

OSU will win, things go in cycles, Michigan will lose 3-4 games this year, if u don't believe me, go bet the games

There is no hole where OSU's heart and soul was. It has filled in and they no longer have either a heart or a soul. Listen to the coaches and players interview-they have lost all perspective and meaning of the larger purposes of athletic competition. They have caved to the hate of their pathological fan base. These gifted players had better learn to play for themselves and each other-and for the joy of athletic competition.

Ohio state can win the natty after losing to Michigan and Ryan day would still have people calling for him to gtfo
