So last week wasn't one of my better efforts. I'm going out on some limbs this week too, but ther aren't many good matchups. I still think there's a couple of upsets in the cards, though. I hate to be this chalk, but sometimes that's the way things go.
#1 Ohio St. at Michigan St.
Spartans have offense;
manage to put wheels back on
and stun the Buckeyes.
#2 Florida at #11 Auburn
Offense anemic:
Gators could pitch shutout
on reeling Tigers.
#3 USC vs. Arizona St.
Devils "O" missing;
Trojan "O" Certainly found:
they get a breather.
#4 Michigan at Penn St.
Mighty Michigan
overwhelms young Penn State team:
no grain joke this week.
#5 West Virginia vs. Syracuse
'Cuse is resurgent,
but no offense to answer
roughshod Mountaineers.
#6 Texas vs. Baylor
Bears undefeated
in conference play 'til now--
not true for next week.
#7 Louisville vs. Cincinnati
Ohio River
has no Red cachet. Birds win
oddball Keg of Nails.
#8 Tennessee (Idle)
Vols are euphoric,
have week off to get selves ready--
look out Crimson Tide.
#9 Notre Dame (Idle)
Irish take week off,
watch to see Bruin mettle:
not much going on.
#10 California at Washington St.
Lynch is limited--
Cougar defense has field day:
Bears merely gilded.
#12 Clemson vs. Temple
Week one or seven?
Shame on you for playing Owls
even for quick win.
#13 Georgia Tech
Wreck gets bye; fuels up
for Clemson Showdown next week:
they will be ready.
#14 LSU vs Kentucky
After loss last week,
Wildcats bring Deliverance
to winning Tigers.
#15 Iowa at Indiana
Both start with an "I";
have three syllables in name:
Hawkeyes still better.
#16 Georgia vs. Vanderbilt
Tennesse never
strikes twice: Vandy is no Vols;
Commodores will fall.
#17 Arkansas vs. Southeast Missouri St.
See Clemson above;
sham, shame on thee Houston Nutt--
I thought these were done.
#18 Oregon vs. UCLA
Olson will be out--
Duck "O" outpaces Bruins;
bounce back from Cal loss.
#19 Missouri at Texas A & M
Answer becomes clear:
which one beat the Red Raiders?
Mizzou takes this one.
#20 Boise St. at New Mexico St.
Brocos are bucking,
trample Aggie-tended field,
have chance to win out.
#21 Nebraska at Kansas St.
Husker offense shucks
K-State defense in big win:
hooray for more grain!
#22 Virginia Tech at Boston College
Beamerball voodoo
fails on funny name kicker:
Eagle ranking back.
#23 Oklahoma vs. Iowa St.
Sooners take vengeance--
mascot confusion the least
of Cyclone worries.
#24 Rutgers at Navy
Defense tells the tale
when these two rushing teams meet--
Knight "D" is better.
#25 Wisconsin vs. Minnesota
Gophers lose trophy--
Paul Bunyan's Axe is this time.
Play for how many?
Last Week: 12-6
Overall: 71-26
Current haiku badness level: Corny; or did you know that sunflower seeds are actually achenes?
