March Madness CFB Style: Who wins the 2024 NCAA Tournament if its the football teams playing? (03/18)

The Cover 3 crew talks College Football Playoff, Tennessee's QBs and the 2024 NCAA Tournament. First, a post-Selection Sunday discussion on the schools most likely to win a football and men's basketball title in the same school year (1:00) before diving into the news of the weekend with more details around College Football Playoff expansion (7:00). With the media rights deal getting approved there are still many unanswered questions and reportedly a new preferred format, so the crew discusses what would be best for the CFP moving forward. Then it's on to the annual Cover 3 March Madness exercise of playing out the NCAA Tournament bracket as if it was the football teams participating (23:35). Find out who makes our football Final Four, and ultimately lands as the pick to win it all if these were the 2024 football teams deciding the bracket. Finally, a question about Tennessee's quarterback depth opens the door to how schools manage their scholarships at the position in the transfer portal era (51:29).
