Seth's College Football Corner

On today’s episode of The Kickoff, Seth Dowdle talks about how Manchester City’s financial scandal has reached another major stage after the Premier League published the Independent Commission’s findings, giving us our clearest look yet at what the club was actually found guilty of doing. On this episode of The Kickoff, Seth Dowdle breaks down the sham sponsorship agreements, hidden costs and fina...

Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League, bringing one of the biggest scandals in English football history to a new stage. On The Matchbook, Seth Dowdle breaks down what Manchester City were actually charged with, how a case that dates back to 2018 reached this point and what could happen next. What should the punishment...

NFL Week 3 gave us exactly the sort of Sunday that makes trying to understand this league feel increasingly pointless. The Cowboys somehow found a way to lose to the Ravens with seven seconds remaining in Brazil, the Broncos erased a 16-point halftime deficit against the Rams in a controversial Sunday night comeback, and the defending champion Seahawks piled up nearly 440 yards of offense only to...

College Football Week 4 delivered one of the wildest Saturdays of the season. On After Saturday, Seth Dowdle reacts to Oregon going into the Coliseum and beating USC after Dante Moore left the game, Florida stunning Ole Miss with 52 points in The Swamp and Iowa somehow finding another extremely Iowa way to beat Michigan in Ann Arbor. What does Oregon’s win say about Dan Lanning’s team moving forwa...

College Football Week 4 is loaded with huge games, while NFL Week 3 gives us another chance to figure out which teams we can actually trust. On this episode of The Kickoff, Seth Dowdle previews Texas vs. Tennessee as Arch Manning and the No. 1 Longhorns head into Neyland Stadium for their first true road game of the season. Can Tennessee pull off the upset? What happens when Ole Miss has to come d...

Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books, and Seth Dowdle is joined by Zion Trammell to make sense of everything that happened on Sunday. The Cowboys bounced back with a convincing win over Washington, but the Commanders left Dallas with much bigger concerns after Jayden Daniels suffered another elbow injury. Caleb Williams also went down as the Vikings defense suffocated Chicago, while the Saints...

Ole Miss finally got its shot at Lane Kiffin and made the most of it, beating LSU in an incredible atmosphere in Oxford as Trinidad Chambliss continued to make his case as one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Meanwhile, Kentucky walked into Kyle Field and stunned Texas A&M, leaving some uncomfortable questions about Marcel Reed and an Aggies team that suddenly looks much more vulnerable th...

Zion Trammell joins the show to preview College Football Week 3, including Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford for LSU-Ole Miss, Houston-Texas Tech and the rest of the biggest games on Saturday. Then Brett Bender joins t...

Welcome back to The Matchbook, The Football Corner’s weekly trip around the world of soccer. We have to start in Manchester, where City beat United 1-0 in a derby that somehow turned into yet another referendum on VAR. Phil Foden was sent off early, United spent most of the afternoon playing against 10 men and Erling Haaland eventually scored the winner — except the goal probably never should have...

The first full Sunday of the 2026 NFL season is officially in the books, and apparently the NFL decided easing us back into this thing would be boring. The Cowboys entered Sunday night with plenty of optimism surrounding a revamped defense, only for Jackson Dart and the Giants to spend most of the evening marching up and down the field against it. Dallas’ offense wasn’t blameless, but New York con...

Week 2 promised one of the best Saturdays of the season, and somehow it actually delivered. Texas entered the fourth quarter down 23-3 against Ohio State before Arch Manning and the Longhorns came roaring back for a ridiculous 24-23 win in Austin. Ohio State had chance after chance to put the game away, Texas refused to die and suddenly the Longhorns look every bit like the national championship c...

Welcome to The Kickoff , The Football Corner’s new weekly mega-preview show. Every Thursday, we’re breaking down the biggest games, storylines and narratives from the upcoming weekend across the NFL, college football and soccer. And for the inaugural episode, we could not have asked for a much more ridiculous slate. Texas and Ohio State meet in Austin for one of the biggest games of the entire col...

The Seattle Seahawks survived the New England Patriots 13-10 in a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl despite losing Sam Darnold to a hip injury almost immediately. Drew Lock did just enough, Seattle’s championship defense took over when it mattered and Drake Maye endured one of the roughest nights of his young career — including a brutal interception that ended New England’s potential game-tying...

The NFL is finally back. Before the 2026 season begins, Seth is breaking down everything he’s most excited to watch over the next five months. Are the Rams actually as terrifying as that ridiculous roster looks? What happens to Baltimore without John Harbaugh? Which team starts tanking for Arch Manning first? Can Dallas finally become something more than the NFL’s most reliable content machine? An...

On today's episode of After Saturday, Seth breaks down the rest of college football's Week 1 slate. SMU and Florida State played one of the strangest games you'll ever see after a power outage in Tallahassee delayed kickoff for nearly two hours and forced the game to begin without some of the basic things you'd expect from a modern college football game. Then the football started — and somehow got...

The Champions League is back, and The Matchbook has you covered. Before turning our attention to Europe, we have a loaded Premier League weekend to discuss. Arsenal takes down Chelsea to remain perfect, Manchester United drops more points after a wild finish at Everton, Hull City somehow still hasn’t conceded a goal and Liverpool finally gets the Alexander Isak performance it has been waiting for....

Week 1 wasn’t supposed to give us this much to talk about. Western Michigan appeared to have Michigan beaten in Ann Arbor before a controversial second was put back on the clock, giving the Wolverines one final play — and one miraculous Hail Mary — to escape with a 13-12 win. Seth has some thoughts. A lot of them, actually. Elsewhere, Lane Kiffin’s LSU debut could hardly have gone better as the Ti...

College football is finally, actually back. Zion Trammell joins After Saturday to preview Week 1, starting with Lane Kiffin’s LSU debut against Clemson in Death Valley and the ongoing eligibility circus surrounding the Tigers. Then we work through the rest of the weekend, including Ole Miss-Louisville, Notre Dame-Wisconsin, Cal-UCLA and several other games that might be worth stealing a television...

On this episode of After Sunday , Seth breaks down Aaron Donald’s stunning return to the Los Angeles Rams and what it means for a team that already looks capable of running through the NFC. Then it’s time for some roster weirdness: Jalon Daniels wins the Buccaneers’ backup quarterback job, Odell Beckham Jr. is officially a Giant again, J.J. McCarthy’s future in Minnesota gets increasingly strange...

On this episode of The Matchbook , Seth Dowdle breaks down a completely normal weekend in the Premier League in which Tottenham sits at the bottom of the table, Hull City is hanging around the top and Chelsea has apparently decided every match should resemble a tennis game. Newcastle hands Spurs another miserable defeat in North London, raising even more questions about a Tottenham team that spent...

On the first true episode of After Saturday , Seth reacts to everything that mattered from Week 0 of the college football season. TCU’s miserable loss to North Carolina has Seth wondering whether Sonny Dykes will even be the Horned Frogs’ coach by December. Bill Belichick gets his first marquee win at UNC, Virginia suddenly looks like a legitimate ACC contender, USC cruises, Florida State raises s...

Plus, Premier League Matchweek 2 brings Aston Villa-Arsenal, Chelsea-Brighton, Tottenh...

College football is finally back. After an offseason filled with eligibility lawsuits, NIL, gambling suspensions, Congress and just about everything except actual football, the games are here. So, it’s time to figure out what the heck is going to happen in 2026. On this episode of The Football Corner, Seth Dowdle breaks down the seven teams he believes can win the national championship, the bigges...

The Premier League is back, and Opening Matchweek has already given us plenty to talk about. On this special Saturday edition of The Matchbook, Seth gives his instant reactions to the first six matches of the 2026-27 Premier League season. Hull City stunned Manchester United in a result that immediately raises some uncomfortable questions at Old Trafford, while Tottenham somehow managed to make al...
