What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorESPN's Week 6 AP poll has Georgia jumping to number one in college football, and the playoff race now has a new front-runner.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, you're up with the thermometer ready.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe poll is a group chat where sportswriters pick the restaurant.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGeorgia is number one because it replied first, and nobody checked whether it was open.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot. I have been in that group chat, and the restaurant was closed.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGeorgia on top means everybody else is now falling.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVoters in a panic, a playoff built on a Sunday mood, and it's all downhill from here.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNot. You said everybody falls about a ranking of twenty-five teams, Dale.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwenty-five reasons to worry.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take: the poll is just Dale's tea. Everybody stirs, nobody drinks it, and Georgia gets the cup. I'm issuing one recall, Kenji: this bit.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDenied, it's already been shipped to everyone's homes.
