12.33 - [8-0] Dominance. Up next Minnesota. (Mode: Rank 1)

UCLA also has 2 quality wins, over Oregon and Wisconsin, which are better than what Miami has.

Continuing on with that pattern, UCLA and Utah have basically the same resume. Do like UCLA's win a hair more than Utah's but I went back and forth here a good amount. Last Week: #3

A win against Nevada does do much for UCLA here

8-0. Shut out Nevada 27-0; the road win at Oregon remains the centerpiece.

How the hell did UCLA not run well vs Nevada?

The Bruins didn't have much to worry about this past weekend, as they dismantled the Wolfpack from Nevada without much trouble en route to a remarkable 8-0 start for the first time since 1998 (just don't ask a Bruins fan how that season ended). UCLA in general has been able to take advantage of a weaker-than-expected schedule to put themselves firmly in the Drivers' Seat for the B1G Title and a guaranteed berth in the CFP, but Chesney's 1st squad in Los Angeles must still mind the roadblocks ahead. Two potentially tricky games away in Minneapolis and Ann Arbor are definitely worth noting, and their home finale against the hated Trojans looks to be critical for the Playoff race. Solid on both sides of the ball and able to handle the loss of Nico for the year well, the Bruins are comfortably sat at #4 this week.

+1. Would be the #5 playoff seed in this scenario, hosting #12 Boise State in the first round

High on this team now, will be not to tough to sustain this ranking. Concerned about harder competition against them, may not see it until the B1G champ game and may be to late to throw them down/out at that point.

Has won every game, but has UCLA played anyone of note yet? If they continue to win, they'll stay around where they are. Being undefeated in 2026 is a luxury.

They dominated Nevada as they should. Still unsure of how to handle this team because they're getting it done but they're not very convincing imo. Let's see how they do against at Minnesota.

1757 points: Boring win was boring, but a playoff berth is starting to look likely.
