The All-Haiku Top-10 College Football Poll

College football polls are for the most part a gigantic waste of time. And aside from two or three prognosticators, most college football experts and their predictions are worth less than their equivalent in bovine-produced methane.

So in an attempt to highlight the absurdity of the polls I am going to force those of you unlucky enough to find this item to sit through 10 verses of bad, free-form haiku that surely violate all the tenets of haiku, and will have Basho himself rolling in his grave.

I am limiting this exercise to a top-10 because this kind of schtick wears thin real quick. And I can just pray that our head sports guy here at Blogcritics  (Matt “Curling Article In August” Sussman) doesn’t get any bright ideas and decide to do an “all haiku top-10 reasons to love curling” list.

So without further delay, here’s the Blogcritics All-Haiku Top-10 College Football Poll.

1) University of Texas

last year’s Rose Bowl champs
should be given some respect
first until they lose

2) USC

the Trojans reload
could run the table again
ND game is huge

3) Ohio State

can’t be number one
until they beat the longhorns
they have to earn it

4) Auburn

the SEC rules
in a war every week
tigers are on top

5) LSU
the purple and gold
their schedule is brutal
things may go their way
