The Cover 3 crew talks transfer portal, best national champions, coach beef and more. First, an interactive edition of the show gets started with a question from the tailgate on what coach beefs best line up with the current rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake (2:45). Then, where Notre Dame sits among the top teams in the country heading into 2024 (9:26), who would win a 12-team playoff between the last 12 national champions (20:15) and what exactly constitutes a transfer portal addition being a "hit" (29:30). Plus, how many losses it takes for top teams to fall out of the top 10 in power ratings (40:25), the importance of interior defensive line play in winning a national championship (48:20) and much, much more.
