Enjoy his college football content, however his weekly in-season "JP Poll" schtick is getting old

Pate intentionally engages/debates with viewers who challenge the "poll's" output

Ironically, the "JP Poll" isn't a poll, it's a computer model power rating

Yet instead of simply changing the name to the "JP Power Rating", Pate goes to great lengths debating viewers who are naive enough to believe the title of the segment ...
"JP Poll Release"

Again, no one is polled ... leading to what I believe to be as an intentional misnomer to create debate and belittle viewers

Enjoy your show JP but meemaw would be disappointed

Sounds like he's generating hits.

Have you not seen the Paawwwwwl Finebaum show? LOL! That type of format works brilliantly.

The only shows worth watching are Klatt and the Film Guy on YouTube. Sometimes McElroy and Cube.

I used to watch Pate's show multiple times a week. Can't do it anymore. I agree that his whole JP Poll schtick is annoying and I don't know how much he actually knows about the game of football - he's wrong in his picks/opinions quite a lot

Is the Film Guy Matt Stinchcomb? I used to like his show, SEC Film Room on SECN but haven't seen it in a while. I remember seeing Muschamp get worked up on a show once just reviewing film.

Cube is particularly good on line play and TE play

No question

Charlatans have garnered attention since the beginning of time

Disappointing because I enjoy Josh

Just change to name of the segment to accurately portray what it actually is

The JP Power Rating

I still watch him and I’m happy that he’s started to become mainstream (for him) but the show has taken a bit of a hit because now that he’s on ESPN and more public, he has to watch what he says

He often says he is in disagreement with the JP Poll. Always a weird moment. The guy has come a long way from his days doing the weather on a Columbus, GA station. I suspect the hits he's getting on social media are paying the bills.

He never should have changed the name and logo aesthetic from "Late Kick"

He says it ranks teams with who would be favored on a neutral field but Vegas disagrees

Josh Pete is my go to. He seems unbiased and knows his shite. He does not just pick games, he explains why he thinks that will be the result.

I think he had to because CBS technically owned that and he wanted to own the show himself. So I get it. For all the money they spent on the new set, I feel like the old one was better. He needs a desk in front of him. It’s awkward as frick him sitting in a chair

I'm not sure more than 1 or 2 people really think they are being misled when they watch this.

I like JP, but I just don't care to sit there and listen to him monologue every issue in college football.
