The Cover 3 crew ranks the top jobs in college football and answers listener questions. First, now that the news is official what is the fallout from the Early Signing Period getting moved up to the first week of December (6:00), reasons to buy into South Carolina heading into 2024 (14:00) and takeaways from Lane Kiffin hiring former Mississippi State head coach Zach Arnett as a defensive analyst at Ole Miss (18:45). Then, the Big Ol' Bag of Mail provides one of the great debates in college football: what are the top 10 jobs in the sport (22:00)? The crew breaks down how Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Alabama and more fit into their rankings along with the top jobs that didn't make the cut. Finally, more listener questions include whether coaching tenures will be longer or shorter as a result of the expanded College Football Playoff (51:43) and whether the Hugh Freeze hire at Auburn has aged well as he prepares for Year 2 with the Tigers (55:40).
