Ah, this week's haiku installment arrives! But first a brief interlude. On Monday I found the scorpion that stung Gabe. Where did I find it? In my shoe, of course. How did I find it? I stung me in the foot. Somewhat unpleasant. But I killed it, and we set it on fire as an example. Take that arthropoda.
#1 Ohio State vs. #24 Penn State
Buckeyes prove too much
for a young Nittany team,
avenge past year loss.
#2 Auburn vs. Buffalo
Why write this one? (five)
We know Auburn wins. (seven)
Disgraceful game. (five)
#3 USC at Arizona
Question gets begged:
Do Trojans need to show up?
Wildcats beat themselves.
#4 West Virginia at East Carolina
Mountaineers rolling--
purple Pirates lose laugher.
Schedule better games.
#5 Florida vs. Kentucky
Boys of the bluegrass
less tough than southern neighbors:
geasy Gators win.
#6 Michigan vs. Wisconsin
Practice "Red Dawn" scream:
"Wolverines!" best Soviets.
Badgers do wear red.
#7 Texas vs. Iowa St.
Big 12 has a north?
Big question: bird or cyclone?
Texans beat wafflers.
#8 Louisville at Kansas St.
Injury prone birds
run into stiff K-state "D;"
the mojo is gone.
#9 Georgia vs. Colorado
Bulldogs best the Buffs;
make quick work of mountain bunch;
pad stats in cakewalk.
#10 LSU vs. Tulane
Raise the cry: "Roll Wave!"
Greenies look to best rival--
"The Rag" returns home.
#11 Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati
Hokies best Bearcats,
promise to score in this one--
no upset will come.
#12 Notre Dame at Michigan St.
Time for a two-fer:
now it's State's turn to shine:
Spartan rushing wins.
#13 Oregon (Idle)
Nike takes a hint--
time for new Duck uniforms:
vertical stripes, no?
#14 Iowa at Illinois
Hapless Illini
immolated by Hawkeyes
despite the home field.
#15 Tennessee vs. Marshall
Vols will bounce back;
Herd firepower too weak:
Thunder gets stolen.
#16 TCU (Idle)
'Tis no game this week!
Horn Frogs take a little rest.
Stats remain quite high.
#17 Oklahoma Vs. Middle Tennessee State
Problematic refs
present no obstacle here.
Sorry Blue Raiders.
#18 Florida St. vs. Rice
Eighteen seems too high,
but don't expect backslide here.
Lowly grain loses.
#19 Clemson vs. North Carolina
Nineteen seems too low--
Tigers make up the ground
against the Tarheels.
#20 Boston College at NC State
Double overtime!
Proclaims proven Eagles trend:
victory assured.
#21 California vs. #22 Arizona St.
Bedeviled Bears fear
resurgent Devils defense
as visitors win.
#23 Nebraska vs. Troy
Hardy Huskers hung
with other Trojans last week:
Troy a pushover.
#25 Boise St. vs. Hawaii
Blue-field Bronco bunch
storm on Rainbow Warriors--
offense will ride high.
Last Week: 12-6
Overall: 30-10
Current Haiku Badness Level: They may actually be Limericks.
