Despite the travails, I have another installment ready. I think I'm going to write to the State Press about the foolishness though.
#1 Ohio State at #13 Iowa
JoePa solved Smith--
Tate won't help like Morelli:
Hawkeyes shock the world.
#2 Auburn at South Carolina
Tigers on the prowl,
use rush attack in their hunt;
make prey of Gamecocks.
#3 USC at Washington St.
'Cats exposed Trojans:
swarming Cougar "D" looms large;
State takes advantage.
#4 West Virginia (Idle)
Almost heaven, West
Virginia, Blue Ridge mountains,
Shenandoah Riv...
#5 Florida vs. Alabama
Not the Tide of old--
last year's defense is no more:
Gators roll the tide.
#6 Michigan at Minnesota
The Little Brown Jug
in balance: Maize is rolling--
they take the trophy.
#7 Texas vs. Sam Houston St.
A real game next week,
but for now only this one:
easy Texas win.
#8 Louisville (Idle)
Injury list like
Hokey-Pokey lyrics for
Birds, they win despite.
#9 LSU vs. Mississippi St.
Long season ahead:
Bulldogs rack up another
big conference loss.
#10 Georgia at Ole Miss
Bulldogs scared straight now--
Buffs had surprise, not Rebels:
Georgia rolls on road.
#11 Virginia Tech vs. #24 Georgia Tech
Which Tech gets the win?
Jackets gut out victory;
victors in nerd fight.
#12 Notre Dame vs. Purdue
No miracle now:
Irish cannot pull rabbit
again, Purdue wins.
#14 Oregon at Arizona St.
Devils can look back
to last week's lessons to beat
tough Oregon team.
#15 Tennessee at Memphis
Volunteers will roll
over a slumping Memphis:
away good as home.
#16 Oklahoma (Idle)
Sooners preparing
to expand the state border:
will it be south bank?
#17 TCU vs. BYU
Frogs have the defense;
Cougars troubled in Fort Worth:
Purple rides again.
#18 Clemson vs. Louisiana Tech
No amount of Tech
able to stop these tigers--
nature victory!
#19 Florida St. (Idle)
Seminoles get rest
for needed War Chant practice;
real game not so soon.
#20 California at Oregon St.
No dice for Beavers:
Golden Bear firepower
comes to be too much.
#21 Nebraska vs. Kansas
Huskers not troubled
by Jayhawks; look to win big
in front of home crowd.
#22 Boise St. at Utah
First real test for both--
Broncos manage to get win
despite the green turf.
#23 Rutgers at South Florida
Newly-ranked Rutgers
gets past mistake-prone Bulls team:
gets to stay in poll.
#25 Missouri vs. Colorado
Crished Colorado
cannot create concern here--
Mizzou takes the cake.
Last week: 15-5
Overall: 45-15
Current haiku badness level: atrocious
