re: Been watching Josh Pate's show on YouTube

Brookes Austin. The only one of these talking head homos that actually breaks down film and tells you why your team is fricking up.

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

He didn't create the concept of "Computer Polls" in college football. They were called that during the BCS for example. Back in the day they were called "math polls" when done manually.

You're right semantically, but kind of wrong when it comes to college football history.

I agree the power rating would make more sense, but I understand what it is, so never really cared.

However, I disagree that changing the name would prevent viewers from not understanding the difference. Because he says directly that's what it is and they still complain. I see people on this website who straight up can't handle the concept of power rankings vs season rankings.

I don't watch him, but I catch the occasional clip here and there. Usually seems pretty solid to me. I like watching film breakdowns much more, even for other teams.

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.

---

He seems to go against Missouri. I don’t like what he does so far.

Why?

Ever since he got Academy as a sponsor and started pumping A&M, he lost his credibility.

Landon Tengwall's show on YouTube is similar to Brook's show, with game film analysis.

Landon Tengwall's College Football Show

The talking head shows is the SECRANT for people that can't read, more comedy than content.

Every time I listen to Pate’s show and it’s over, I wonder what I knowledge or value just gained by listening to it. He straddles the fence on pretty much everything.

Agreed. I understand being somewhat neutral and respectful but it just ends up sounding non-committal. Like he’s so afraid of him saying Team A will lose big might be a soundbite if they win.

So by the end of the segment you’re somehow still wondering who he even predicts is going to be the winner before he says so without any conviction.

2nd Brooks Austin. If you want to actually learn why a team is having success and a deeper analysis of matchups, check him out.

His fondness for corporate speak and business jargon is the reason I stopped watching.

From a 50,000 foot view, there's not enough syergy in the program's culture and they need to do a better job onboarding their new portal players.. Circle back and put a pin on it.

Love Pate, Klatt and Andy/Ari. Most of the others are homerish and tiresome.
