All-Haiku Bowl Predictions, 2018
Dec
13
2018
Based on the popularity existence of last year’s article predicting bowl games in haiku form, I present to you this year’s all-haiku bowl game predictions. Still America’s only all-haiku college football bowl game predictions.
These are listed in order of date (earliest first). Some picks are whom I think will win, and some picks are whom I want to win. I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to decide which is which.
Dec. 15th
This bowl game is back
in its rightful location
of first to be played.
Utah St. over N. Texas
Cure Bowl
Mean Green is not a
noun, therefore I must oppose
their team in this game.
La. Lafayette over Tulane
Las Vegas Bowl
I am going for
Fresno State here just because
they’re not a big name.
Fresno St. over Arizona St.
Camellia Bowl
I’m not going to fall
into their trap of looking
up “Camellia”
Georgia St. over EMU
New Orleans Bowl
I know better as
a Michigan fan than to
pick against App. St.
App. St. over MTSU
Dec. 18th
UAB has a
better record but I like
the Wolves anyway.
NIU over UAB
Dec. 19th
I always forget
this game is in Texas, not
in San Francisco.
SDSU over Ohio
Dec. 20th
I’m not going to fall

This bowl game will be
international so I
will pick FIU.
FIU over Toledo
Idaho Potato Bowl
BYU has a
bigger name but WMU
a better record
WMU over BYU

A bowl game does not
mean as much when it is named
after a city.
Memphis over Wake Forest

Unlike the other
military bowl, this one
has an armed forces.
Army over Houston
Dollar General Bowl
Everyone keeps on
lauding Buffalo’s QB,
so I will trust them.
Buffalo over Troy

just a vacation
Hawaii over La. Tech
Dec. 26th
A good rule of thumb:
Don’t pick against the Broncos
when they are in a bowl.
BSU over BC
Quick Lane Bowl
It’s different when it’s
a coach who is retiring
rather than leaving.
GT over Minnesota
Cheez-It
It’s ridiculous –
this bowl can’t keep its name straight.
This is one to drop.
TCU over Cal
Dec. 27th
A coaching change is
rarely good for a bowl game
so I will pick Duke.
Duke over Temple
Pinstripe Bowl
7 and 5 teams:
How the mighty have fallen!
Wrong turnover chain.
Wisconsin over Miami FL
Texas Bowl
Both are 6 and 6.
If this game ends in a tie,
that would be perfect.
Vanderbilt over Baylor
Dec. 28th
As a Michigan
fan, I support another
Purdue upset win.
Purdue over Auburn
Camping World Bowl
Can Will Grier’s talent
continue despite the loss
of the play caller?

In real life a
cyclone would beat a cougar
but these are mascots.
Washington St. over Iowa St.
Dec. 29th
Michigan will be
okay as long as Don Brown
is still coaching there.

Belk Bowl
I’m picking this game
to go into overtime.
Virginia by 3.
Virginia over S. Carolina
Arizona Bowl
This bowl might have the
worst combination of teams
in this bowl season.
Nevada over Arkansas St.
Cotton Bowl
I don’t mind ND,
but Clemson knows how to win
in playoff bowl games.
Clemson over ND
Orange Bowl
No Baker Mayfield,
but leftover attitude
could help them to win.
Oklahoma over Alabama
Dec. 31st
This bowl game has the
largest disparity of
the teams’ records
Cincinnati over VT
Redbox
The Foster Farms Bowl
did not last long at all.
Long live Redbox Bowl!
Oregon over Michigan St.

It’s hard to pick a
team with a losing record
in its conference.

Holiday Bowl
Two teams that were their
conferences’ runners-up.
Consolation bowl.
Northwestern over Utah
Taxslayer Bowl
It is good that they
moved this bowl to be before
January 1st

Sun Bowl
Stanford is the one
exception I make about
singular team names.

I’m obligated
to cheer for fellow Big Ten
team in this bowl game.

lame duck coaching session goes.
I hope it’s not good.

I would not mind if
Texas won, but their program
has been in a mess.
Georgia over Texas
Jan. 7th
This pick will not be
worth much if I got both the
semifinals wrong.
Clemson over Oklahoma
And that’s it for this year’s BCS and non-BCS bowl game predictions. Tune in later, about the second week of January, for the results show.
