What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSince the Alabama game, CBS Sports projects Georgia takes over No. 1 in the new Top 25, while Oregon and Florida both fall.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo hot takes, please.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take: the poll is built overnight by interns in slippers. That's why Oregon fell. Nobody was awake to defend them.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHot. I've seen the slippers.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHot take: Georgia's twenty to seventeen win over Alabama is a three-point sample. Statistically, you could flip a coin in a stadium and get the same result.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNot. Three points is three points.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOuch.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt was a fair coin.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFinal take. The whole poll is a hot take written at dawn by people in slippers. And Georgia still deserves it.
