The Cover 3 crew talks NC State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Arizona, playoff expansion and more. First, while the automatic byes for the Big Ten and SEC could get taken out of the future 14-team model recent College Football Playoff expansion news does point to big wins for the sport's two most powerful conferences (1:30). Then it's on to the annual review of conference title droughts looking to identify teams on the verge of breaking through, starting with Ole Miss looking for its first conference championship in more than 50 years (12:45) as the Rebels are loaded up to make a run in the expanded SEC. Also, why NC State and Miami are among the top contenders other than Clemson or Florida State in the ACC (25:40) and how the Big 12 outlook might shape up well for Kansas or Arizona to bring decades-long droughts to an end (41:20).
