2024 Coach Rankings, Part 1: Toughest calls, biggest debates on the ballot, more! (05/13)

The Cover 3 crew discusses the coach rankings, EA Sports' video game tease and more. First, breaking down the EA Sports tease of College Football 25 with a look at the players selected for the early promotional cover art (2:00), Missouri State being the latest program to jump from FCS to FBS as it plans for a move in 2025 to Conference USA (8:50) and more quarterback shuffling in the portal (13:40). Then it's on to the first step of the 2024 CBS Sports Coach Rankings: our ballots. The conversation starts with a reveal of everyone's top 10 (22:00) followed by a discussion of the toughest coaches to rank (31:29) and what the bottom of the ballot looks like after all 68 power conference coaches are slated against each other (49:11).
