Summary

The Cover 3 crew is joined by ESPN’s Bill Connelly to talk 2022 projections. Bill joins Bud Elliott and Chip Patterson to discuss the challenges of tracking returning production in the modern era (2:50), NC State surging as an ACC contender (16:00), Ohio State’s overwhelming offensive advantage even after losing top wide receivers from 2021 (23:00), why the numbers still like Michigan (26:25) and where Iowa stands among other Big Ten West teams (30:45). Then, a scan across the Big 12 (34:50) and Pac-12 (41:30) before a dive into the returning production numbers in the SEC, with a focus on Georgia (46:40), Tennessee (49:50), Missouri (52:10), Auburn (53:30) and Ole Miss (57:40).
