2025-26 Bowl Season: CFP quarterfinal picks from Josh Pate!

Posted on December 30, 2025December 30, 2025 by gamedaycole

Josh Pate gave out his CFP quarterfinal picks on Sunday night’s show. These are not Ramen Noodle Express picks and it is unclear to me if he is actually betting any of these. For this reason I’m not counting these in his official betting record, but here are his picks from Sunday night’s show.

Josh Pate’s CFP quarter-final picks:
Oregon to win and cover (Oregon -2.5 vs Texas Tech)
Alabama wins outright (Alabama+6.5 or Alabama+205 vs Indiana)
Georgia to win and cover (Georgia-6.5 vs Ole Miss)
Ohio State to win, Miami FL to cover (Miami FL+9.5 vs Ohio State)
