Week 9 Upset Alerts | Commissioner’s Poll Top 25 | G6 Playoff Idea | Most Haunted Teams

College Football’s week 9 schedule includes several big games with upset alert potential. On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 786 Josh Pate looks at Miami vs North Carolina, Virginia vs Wake Forest, Arizona vs Texas Tech, Auburn vs Ole Miss, Utah vs Cincinnati, and Minnesota vs Indiana. What does this week’s Commissioner’s Poll look like with a fresh set of rankings dropping tonight? Are teams like Miami and Notre Dame still near the top? What about Texas and Alabama along with LSU and South Carolina in the SEC? Are teams like Texas Tech and BYU still in good position? Several head coaches have floated the idea of a G6 Playoff. Would that be a good idea? Josh also fives deep into the early kickoff conundrum angering several fan bases and discusses the most haunted teams of 2026 including Kansas State, Oregon, Penn State, and Mississippi State. All that plus several questions in the Pate State mailbag and early best bets on the Ramen Noodle Express. Be sure to let us know what you think, !
