The Cover 3 crew talks transfer portal, bowl season, Kirby Smart, Oklahoma, LSU and more. First, with the bowl season eyeing potential expansion, what role will the bowls play in college football's future postseason with an expanded College Football Playoff (3:30)? Plus, quarterback takeaways from Washington's spring game (10:45) and Kirby Smart becoming the first $13M coach (14:00). Then it's on to the transfer portal spring window recap, starting with the defensive tackle market (19:23), programs that failed to address needs (24:20) and how roster retention was one of the biggest storylines of the window (28:20). Finally, why a drama-free portal window is bad for podcasts but great for college football (34:50) and what the data tells us about the relationship between power conferences and the Group of Five in the portal (42:00).
