Video: Big 12 Disrespected? Notre Dame No. 1? Reacting to Josh Pate’s Way-Too-Early CFB Top 25 | KSL Sports

Josh Pate just released his “Commissioner’s Poll” for the 2026 season with some interesting rankings for teams like BYU and Utah.

BYU Insider Mitch Harper and Utah Insider Steve Bartle break down Pate’s way-too-early top 25 rankings and debate whether the Big 12 is finally getting its due or still facing a “glass ceiling” in the polls.

With Texas Tech at #12, BYU at #14, and Utah at #19, they analyze the roster retention in Provo, the Morgan Scalley transition in SLC, and why Pate’s decision to crown the Fighting Irish at #1 might be the most polarizing take so far this college football off-season.
