Josh Pate On Miami + USC + Notre Dame Being Playoff Contenders

College Football has seen an interesting first 2 weeks with Miami, Notre Dame, and USC all getting big wins over SEC competition. On Josh Pate's College Football Show Ep 549 Josh Pate discussed the possibility that we could see several blue blood programs emerging as College Football Playoff contenders. Will Mario Cristobal and Miami return to the head table. What about Lincoln Riley's new defensive staff at USC? Notre Dame has already been there. Can Marcus Freeman elevate the program to a national title contender?

As a Miami Hurricanes fan its so beautiful to see Josh's obvious love for my Canes 😊

Miami Vs Usc in the playoffs would break Tv Records.... even in 2024, the big 10 might want to pay attention to those ratings once the Acc dissolves.

ND and the U are national brands. SC represents the entire West Coast. College football need these 3 schools to be relevant

As a Miami fan, my only regret for Miami is when, Butch Davis left for the Cleveland Browns in 2000! If Butch stays at Miami, We and I would have gotten the match up of Miami vs USC in the BCS at least twice after 2002 to 2006! Miami and USC would have been on collision course to face either. Everybody coast to coast would have want to see that match up! Miami and USC parallel each other in so many ways. Both are private schools! Both are located in famous warmer year round international cities with great recruiting basis in Southern California and South Florida. Both have been and can be great national recruiters. Both have a laundry list of great CFB players and NFL players. The who's who's of all-time greats in CFB and the NFL!

My granddad is a University of Miami allumi and he went there back in the 40s, before Football was a major thing down there. He's seen it all. It's nice of the Hurricanes to be good again at Football late into his life. Now be good at Baseball too Miami, and that'll make him really happy.

It's not just Lynn either, Entz, Belk and Henderson are the best at what they do. When USC is good they're great and when they're great you have the 2nd largest media market in the country's interest. 💲💲💲

Coach Freeman is doing good things with Notre Dame

[JSum]

Love them or hate them, ITS GREAT for cfb when ND, Miami, USC, Michigan etc... are good.

[jewelz]

All 3 need more evidence. As a Notre Dame fan, I know we have been building. Marcus Freeman has no doubt elevated our Program and we are where we should be, but to be an Elite we have to be more....

Josh, as college football FAN since the 1960's Miami, USC, Notre Dame and TEXAS (after week one) looks like 4 teams making the NEW 12 team playoffs. Bring on week 2 of the 2024 college football season. BOOMER SOONER

Great segment Josh! I’ll never forget the epic Notre Dame vs Miami battles of the late 80’s and early 90’s. Glad to see all 3 likely in the CFP. Fun fact though: although not elite, only 5 schools in the nation have more wins than Notre Dame in the last 10 years (and not cream puff schedules).

[shawnsingleton]

ND is a better brand with the haters gonna find out how good they are and how hard they play under freeman....kelly helped get program out of a hole....freemans recruiting and portal use and staff one of best in college

[Kurfuffle]

Dang, Al Golden is a coordinator at ND? Glad to see him find success after destroying Miami as a HC

[MikeSloan]

As a ND fan…….the ND Miami games from the past are timeless classics. And USC being our rival, it just means more. Last game of the season for ND is at USC. Should be a good one. Go Irish ☘️

[freakboy]

When the U is good. They are a problem. If you notice there aren't teams out here winning without elite south florida players. If those kids stay home now it's gonna be a huge problem. The last 20 years or so the elite guys would leave for the most part.

[jpDragna]

Bold Prediction, as the season goes forward we're going to view Caleb Williams last year with USC in the same way people thought Cam Ward's season would go at Miami. A supremely and uniquely talented individual, who does as much outside the context of his playbook as within its confines, and you take the good with the bad. Ward showed that a little bit game 1 with Miami, but he also showed a willingness to play within Dawson's scheme. Caleb was a great QB for Caleb's purposes, Miller Moss has the potential to be a great QB for USC.

[garrickgrogan]

I lived thru the 80’s 90’ with my hurricanes it was great days

[CaliforniasGold]

If USC, Notre Dame, Miami, and Texas are all playing their best football at the same time… and if any combo made that playoff final 4…

College football TV Ratings would explode! 💥🌋🤯🔥🔥

love them or love to hate them, people will watch.
