## Resource

If Beat Everyone hits the transfer portal, we're taking a hard look at Pate State. We welcome the one and only Josh Pate to discuss Alabama's national championship prospects in 2026, plus the future of college football. What has he learned from Kalen DeBoer and just about every other high-profile head coach in the sport from his recent sitdown interviews? Are dynasties a thing of the past? Was the BCS the best way to determine a champion? Is Alabama one of the few programs who can compete for a title every year? Why is a 24-team College Football Playoff such a bad idea? Pate talks about all this and MORE! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
