    The Corner Poll Is Here + Six Problems With the Preseason AP Poll

    The rankings are here — even if some of them don’t actually mean anything yet. On this episode of The Football Corner, Seth unveils the inaugural Premier League edition of The Corner Poll, sorting all 20 clubs by vibes, feelings and whatever else happens to be rattling around inside his brain before the season begins. Then, the preseason AP Poll has arrived, which means it’s time to overanalyze a ranking released before anyone has actually played a football game. Why is defending national champion Indiana only No. 6? How did no SEC team receive a first-place vote? Why does Missouri always seem to end up at No. 25? Where are the Group of Six teams? And why are voters still giving Clemson the benefit of the doubt? Plus, Odell Beckham Jr. is a Giant again, Ty Simpson turns heads in his Rams debut, Middlesbrough and Lincoln City provide some early-season Championship drama, and the Jayden Daniels-LSU saga somehow keeps getting stranger. Finally, Seth dives into the growing internationalization of American football and asks whether college football, in particular, loses part of what makes it special when games leave campus for Dublin, London and beyond. 00:00 Welcome to The Football Corner 00:30 What is The Corner Poll? 06:31 The Preseason Premier League Corner Poll 20:51 Reacting to the Preseason AP Poll 35:53 Jumping into The Football Notebook 45:03 The Internationalization of American Football 51:16 Looking Ahead Every football season deserves to be remembered.

    A Cinematic Guide to the 2026 NFL Season

    The NFL season is almost here, so what better way to preview all 32 teams than through the movies? Seth is joined by Zion Trammell to go division by division through the entire NFL, assigning every team a movie that captures where they stand entering the 2026 season. From the Buffalo Bills trying to change the hierarchy of power like Black Adam and the Indianapolis Colts living through Memento to the Dallas Cowboys providing the full emotional experience of Inside Out 2, no team is safe. Along the way, Seth and Zion discuss the contenders they believe can win the Super Bowl, the teams already looking toward the 2027 NFL Draft, the quarterbacks with everything riding on this season and some truly disastrous situations around the league. Plus: Patrick Mahomes begins his Odyssey, Caleb Williams becomes Superman, the Seahawks pull off an Ocean’s Eleven-style heist and the 49ers discover the dangers of building Jurassic Park next to an electrical substation. 00:00 — Welcome to The Football Corner06:03 — AFC East20:01 — AFC North33:05 — AFC South45:55 — AFC West1:00:37 — NFC East1:13:49 — NFC North1:21:39 — NFC South1:28:41 — NFC West1:38:28 — Wrapping up & The Football Corner updates Every football season deserves to be remembered.

In the inaugural episode, Seth reacts to PSG lifting yet another European trophy after beating Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup and asks whether anyone can actually stop Luis Enrique’s side this season. Then, it’s time for a full La Liga preview. Can Barcelona make it three straight? Is José Mourinho the man to bring Real Madrid back to the top of Spain? Can Atlético Madrid keep pace? And after years of flirting with disaster, is this finally the season Sevilla goes down? Plus, Seth embraces the beautiful chaos of the EFL Championship, checks in on Wrexham’s continued climb through English football and gives his early promotion and relegation picks. Finally, we close with One Good Thing and One Bad Thing from around world football: Malawi’s incredible run at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and yet another controversy surrounding FIFA president Gianni Infantino. 00:00 Introduction to The Matchbook 01:26 PSG Takes Down Aston Villa in UEFA Super Cup 11:39 La Liga Preview 37:29 Predicting the 2026-27 La Liga Season 42:51 The EFL Championship Minute (More Like Five) 49:39 One Good Thing and One Bad Thing in Football 54:52 Outro Every football season deserves to be remembered.

    The Football Corner Is Here + 9 Storylines That Will Define 2026

    Welcome to The Football Corner! On the inaugural episode, Seth Dowdle introduces The Football Corner and what this new home for football is all about: documenting, discussing and celebrating the stories that make the NFL, college football and soccer so special. Then, with all three seasons either here or right on the horizon, we dive into three of the biggest storylines to watch in each sport in 2026. First, we head to the NFL to ask which struggling fanbases might finally fall in love with their teams again, why this feels like a now-or-never season for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, and whether an unusually quiet offseason in Dallas could actually be a good sign for the Cowboys. Then, it’s time for college football, where Notre Dame appears to have a clear path to the College Football Playoff, Texas Tech has fully embraced its new role as one of the sport’s villains, and Lane Kiffin at LSU promises to be must-see television. Finally, we head across the Atlantic for the soccer season. José Mourinho is back at Real Madrid, the Premier League is undergoing a massive managerial revolution, and after a grueling stretch of club and international football culminating with the 2026 World Cup, player fatigue could become one of the defining stories of the season. 00:00 Welcome to the Football Corner 08:50 The Essence of Football Stories 10:37 Three NFL Storylines to Watch in 2026 23:54 Three College Football Storylines to Watch in 2026 36:06 Three Soccer Storylines to Watch in 2026 47:58 Episode Wrap Up Every football season deserves to be remembered.

    Mid-Season Conference Report Cards and Best Bets for Week 6

    In today’s episode, we break down college football at the midseason mark by grading each of the Power 4 conferences. We kick things off with the ACC and its struggles in non-conference play, then move to the Big Ten, where Oregon and Ohio State are carrying the load at the top. Next up is the Big 12 — has Texas Tech’s emergence raised the league’s ceiling and its grade? And of course, we dive into the SEC and ask whether its depth makes it the best conference in America. To wrap things up, we give out our best bets and predictions for Week 6 of the college football season. Thank you to Live to Shoot for sponsoring today’s episode.
