If this happened two or three years ago, maybe this wouldn't be worth a thread. However, considering the season Georgia just went through and that Josh Pate seemingly picked against the Bulldogs more this season than he has in the last three combined. His prediction for this year's national championship felt worth sharing.
"Georgia is the best football program in the country. And I believed that coming into the year," Pate said about Georgia. "And I'd still believe that if Texas had beaten the other day. You don't tear down a program overnight. ... The reason I mention that is because it takes a lot more than losing one player to tear down a program."
Pate predicts Georgia will defeat Notre Dame in the quarterfinal, which, according to FanDuel, Georgia would be 1.5-point favorites over. Pate then has the Bulldogs facing Penn State in the semifinal, followed by a third matchup with Texas in the national championship. And while he picked Texas to beat Georgia in their two prior matchups, he sided with the Bulldogs in a predicted third game between the two SEC programs.
