The show will air Friday afternoons from college campuses during the season, sometimes co-locating with College GameDay. The announcement drew controversy as it came days after ESPN laid off several longtime on-air personalities.
Pate confirmed he has 'zero plans to leave YouTube or change the show in any way,' framing his multi-platform strategy as spreading across partners rather than consolidating under one network.
Josh Pate's College Football Show was acquired by On3 Sports. That same month, Pate launched The Locker Room: CFB with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan under the Bussin' With The Boys brand, and ESPN announced him as a contributor appearing on 'Get Up.'
Pate rebranded his show as Josh Pate's College Football Show under a CBS Sports deal that let him retain ownership while gaining CBS's wider distribution network.

Josh Pate is a college football analyst and show host based in the United States, best known for "Late Kick with Josh Pate," a long-form analysis program distributed across YouTube, On3, ESPN, and Yahoo Sports. He has built his brand around an explicit rejection of debate-show theatrics, focusing instead on game predictions, recruiting coverage, coach interviews, and the JP Poll — a recurring fan-driven ranking segment that has become a channel signature. Content skews heavily toward SEC storylines, conference realignment, and structural debates like CFP expansion, with year-round posting that treats college football as a 365-day subject rather than a seasonal one.
His audience is overwhelmingly male and tilts toward the 35-and-up bracket, suggesting his analytical, detail-oriented tone resonates with seasoned fans rather than casual scrollers. Engagement running at roughly double the category median signals a genuinely invested community rather than passive subscribers. Sponsor partnerships with FanDuel and SeatGeek map cleanly onto an adult male audience that both attends games and participates in legal sports betting markets, positioning Pate squarely within the sports commerce and gaming verticals. As college football's media landscape continues expanding — larger playoffs, reshuffled conferences, escalating rights deals — a year-round analytical channel with established multi-platform distribution is well placed to deepen its authority in an increasingly crowded CFB media space.
Joshpatecfb reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. Their sponsorship history skews toward Sports Media, Merchandise / Apparel, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include FanDuel and SeatGeek. Engagement on YouTube runs around 3.0%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Late Kick is Josh Pate's college football show on YouTube, built around in-depth analysis rather than debates and hot takes. The show runs year-round — not just in-season — covering game predictions, reactions, best bets, and interviews with major names in the sport. The core pitch is that fans who live for fall Saturdays deserve more substance than argument theater.
The JP Poll is Josh Pate's own recurring college football ranking segment, which he describes on his channel as 'world-famous.' It gives him a platform to share his independent team assessments separate from the official CFP rankings and has become one of the signature features his audience tunes in specifically to hear.
Yes — Josh Pate lists ESPN among his media affiliations alongside On3 and Yahoo Sports. That multi-outlet presence means his college football content reaches audiences well beyond his own YouTube channel, positioning him inside a serious sports media ecosystem rather than purely as an independent creator.
Pate State Material is Josh Pate's official merchandise brand, sold through patestatematerial.com. The name riffs on college football phrases like 'playoff material' or 'championship material,' fitting the identity of an audience that's deeply invested in the sport. Buying merch is one of the direct ways his fans support keeping the show free.
Josh Pate has covered the CFP expansion debate extensively, including a dedicated episode alongside college football analyst Bill Connelly specifically breaking down the move to 24 teams. True to his format, he approaches the topic with structural analysis rather than reflexive hot takes, walking through the real arguments on both sides for fans who want actual depth on the format change.
The 'Josh Pate for Commissioner' sentiment has become a running theme driven by his fanbase and played into directly on his channel with a dedicated video on the idea. It reflects how much his audience trusts his read on the sport's biggest decisions — from playoff structure to conference realignment — compared to the actual administrators running the game.
Yes, best bets are a regular segment on Josh Pate's College Football Show and one of the features he explicitly promotes in his channel description. His FanDuel sponsorship aligns directly with that content, making him one of the CFB creators who covers both the analytical and wagering sides of the sport in a single show.
FanDuel and SeatGeek are both active sponsors on his YouTube channel. FanDuel fits naturally with his best bets content, while SeatGeek — a live event ticket marketplace — is a logical match for an audience that skews heavily male and older, exactly the demographic most likely to be buying tickets to college football games in person.
Josh Pate has featured analytical collaborations with Bill Connelly, one of the most respected statistical minds covering college football, including a joint episode on CFP expansion. His channel bio describes regular 'sit-downs with the biggest names in the sport,' meaning coaches, executives, and analysts are a core part of the show's format rather than occasional additions.
Yes — beyond his YouTube channel, Josh Pate is affiliated with On3, the college sports recruiting and media platform, and Yahoo Sports, both listed in his public profile. That cross-platform distribution extends his college football analysis to audiences who may never have found his YouTube channel directly, reinforcing his standing as a serious media voice in the CFB space.
