Is the transfer portal out of control? | Late Kick Live Ep. 222
Late Kick Live Ep. 222 features Josh Pate counting down to the National Title game next Monday night in Indianapolis with a look at what Nick Saban has done at Alabama and how he has warped the perception of the sport for so many people. Has the greatest dynasty in the history of College Football fooled too many into thinking the sport is broken? Speaking of titles, Josh also takes a look back at the 2005 Rose Bowl between USC and Texas. Was this the greatest title game ever? Was it also the pinnacle of College Football? We also take a look at what has already been an insane week in the world of the Transfer Portal with Oklahoma QB Caleb Williams entering his name while Dillon Gabriel exited UCLA before setting foot on a practice field to head to Norman instead. Are there checks and balances needing to be inserted into the equation or will we continue to see free movement unchecked? Additionally we take an in-depth look at the evolving nature of the SEC East. Could one OR several programs finally be adjusting to the dominance UGA has shown in recent years?Follow Josh on Twitter: @LateKickJoshFollow Josh on Instagram: @LateKickJoshFollow Josh on TikTok: @LateKickJoshHave a question for Josh?

Late Kick Live Ep. 216 features Josh Pate looking back at the wildest coaching carousel and transfer portal period College Football has ever seen. How much will the immediate futures of conference and CFB Playoff races be tilted by the movement we saw via transfers and decommitments leading up to Early Signing Day?

How would you go about tweaking bowl season to keep the spirit of the season intact?
