The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes welcome in the No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish for a week 1 clash that has plenty of playoff implications even with it being the opener. Lots of pundits are taking the conservative route by picking Notre Dame. Even with a QB making his first start for the Irish — CJ Carr — it seems like the media needs to see "it" from the Hurricanes if they are going to pick them.
Well, that's not the case for CFB analyst Josh Pate who, on his college football show, made the prediction that the Miami Hurricanes will win the Sunday night standalone matchup at home.
