Josh On Alabama

“The SEC is a total mess already. And the SEC is only going to get messier. They could get as few as two teams in. They could get as many as five teams in.”
— Josh Pate · watch the moment · SEC PLAYOFF CHAOS

“Down goes Bama. Down goes Georgia. And at that point, you can feel it. That's a theme.”
— Josh Pate · watch the moment · SEC UPSETS

“This has game of the year potential.”
— Josh Pate · watch the moment · GAME OF YEAR

“I still think Georgia's got the best tight end room I've seen in the country. Alabama's got the most surprising tight end room I've seen in the country so far this year.”
