Published On: Mon Mar 13 2023
Description: The Cover 3 crew picks the NCAA Tournament bracket with a football spin. Before breaking out the bracket, a discussion on whether we will see teams opt out of bowl games after missing the expanded College Football Playoff in a manner that's similar to North Carolina's decision to opt out of the NIT after missing the NCAA Tournament (5:00). Then, it's on to the 2023 NCAA Tournament bracket if it was played on the football field, with Alabama trying to replicate its hoops success in the South Region (29:00), Tennessee making a charge in the East (32:00), Iowa's dark horse status in the Midwest (35:15) and unusual matchups from schools well outside the FBS ranks in the West Region (38:10). Stick around to find out who winds up in the Final Four, which concludes with a matchup between two of the biggest brands in the sport in the title game (39:15).
