Summary
The Cover 3 crew answers questions on BCS history, top 2021 games, next coach at Iowa and more. First, a review of the BCS era identifying the years that would have been even better with a four-team playoff (2:00) and whether Wisconsin needs to consider a new offensive approach to take the next step (10:00). Then, not necessarily the biggest but the most important games on the 2021 regular season schedule in terms of what’s a stake (20:00), who might be in line for Iowa after Kirk Ferentz (29:30) and whether Nebraska should go all the way back to the glory days with the triple option (39:00).

| 0:58.2 | right. That's right, it is the big old bag of mail. Like so much joy comes from diving |
| 1:06.9 | into the big old bag of mail. I'm, you know, got my feelings heard a little bit, but |
| 1:10.9 | that's okay. That's what happens when you get the Georgia fans all riled up and mad. |
