Don't miss
Pate’s analysis of Oklahoma’s 27–24 upset over Texas, from its slow opening to its late theatrics, is the episode’s clearest centerpiece.
The brief
Josh Pate opens from Nashville with a weekend defined by close finishes, beginning with Oklahoma’s 27–24 upset of Texas in the Red River rivalry.
The Texas loss gets the fullest treatment: a slow start gave way to late theatrics, earning the game a four-challi rating and a place among the weekend’s defining results.
Indiana’s 20–17 win over Nebraska and Kentucky’s 35–34 stunner against LSU extend the theme, with Kentucky’s first-year coach Will Stein and season-ticket holders in focus.
The discussion shifts from scores to the ecosystem around them: home fields, social-media criticism, and TexAgs’ unusual influence inside Texas A&M’s fan community.
The closing Ramen Noodle Express segment looks ahead to Wisconsin versus UCLA, where the model suggests the betting favorite may be mispriced.
