Summary
The Cover 3 crew answers listener questions on ranking teams and hot takes. First, analysis of Georgia Southern’s hire of Clay Helton to take over its football program (2:33) and a new spin on “Hot or Not” rating the heat of takes from around college football (11:00). Then it’s on to the Big Ole Bag of Mail with an appropriately-timed question on how teams are ranked — should it be the “best” teams or the most “most deserving” teams (27:25)? Plus, identifying candidates for a hypothetical Group of Five Heisman award (44:15), some love for Auburn (47:35) and a specific coaching decision question for late-game scenarios (53:20).
Cover 3 is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
