What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFive of the top seven teams in the AP poll lost on Saturday, the first time that has happened since the poll began in nineteen thirty-six, CBS Sports says.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot takes, please, and I'll rate them.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentGeorgia opened fourteen to nothing against unranked Auburn, then gave up twenty-four unanswered points and lost twenty-seven to twenty-four.

  4. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentStatistically, the safest place on Saturday was behind.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot. Nobody was ahead and happy at the same time.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTexas lost to unranked Florida after Arch Manning fumbled late.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy take is the fumble is already a ringtone, and it's getting more plays than the game.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. I've seen no ringtone.

  9. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentGive it a week.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take: from now on, the team that's leading should just forfeit and go home early.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKenji, is there weather where nobody blows a lead?

  12. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHank wants a mulligan on the whole block. Denied, it's already online, and that one counts.
