Future of SEC scheduling, teams that could arrive earlier than expected (06/01) Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

The Cover 3 crew talks SEC meetings and picks teams to watch in 2022. First, a debate between the two scheduling models considered by the SEC for its future with Texas and Oklahoma in the league (2:15), Nick Saban’s clarifying remarks after the war of words with Jimbo Fisher (25:30) and how NIL collectives might be influencing coaches’ criticism of the current environment (29:00). Then, turning our attention to teams and programs we think are on the rise, specifically ones that could arrive early and meet or exceed expectations in 2022. The crew defines what “arrive early” means for programs like USC, Penn State, Texas, Florida and more, and why there might be hope to see that success this fall (35:21).
