The Cover 3 crew makes picks and predictions for Notre Dame, BYU and top G5 teams. As we wind down the conference-by-conference win totals series it’s time to take a look at the independents and some notable win totals from the Group of Five conferences. Up first is Notre Dame and a schedule that welcomes non-ACC teams back to the slate (2:00) and BYU looking to maintain success in the post-Zach Wilson era (12:00). Then, a focus on the American Athletic Conference with Cincinnati looking to repeat as champs (21:30) and UCF in the mix as well with Gus Malzahn taking over (33:00). Plus, Louisiana (46:30) and Coastal Carolina (54:15) headlining an exciting year in the Sun Belt and a rapid-fire round with picks for ULM, UConn, Nevada, SMU, Troy and more (59:00).
