It’s still the college football preseason for now. With that, for the most part, there are no bad predictions. College football analyst Josh Pate had a bold one ahead of the upcoming season.
Pate’s Big 12 title pick was unsurprising. Like seemingly everybody else nationally, the college football voice has the Texas Longhorns taking home the Big 12 conference crown. Their conference title opponent is surprising. The college football analyst has the Oklahoma State Cowboys reaching the Big 12 title game.
To be sure, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy has proven to be one of the best coaches in the conference over a long career. That said, his 2023 squad has plenty of questions after losing several key players.
Pate made a couple of other surprising picks. He had Iowa facing the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big Ten title, with Alabama as the SEC championship game winner over Georgia. In addition, he sees the Oregon Ducks taking home the presumed final Pac-12 title over the UCLA Bruins.
If the college football podcast host is correct, he deserves plenty of credit. Texas will look to live up to their end of the prediction this season.
