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.
