What teams have the talent to win a national champions in 2022? (07/14)

The Cover 3 crew talks recruiting, conference realignment and more. First, with the release of the Blue Chip Ratio for 2022, who are the schools who have signed enough four-star and five-star talent over a four-year span to meet the minimum requirements for winning a national championship (1:45)? Then it’s on to the Big Ol Bag of Mail, with questions focused on the impact of USC and UCLA on Big Ten recruiting (15:30), why North Carolina is a valuable target for conference expansion in the Big Ten or SEC (20:00), whether schools might be kicked out of mega conferences (31:00) and some of the top defensive backs and DB rooms in the country (41:17).
