UCLA Football Falls in Both Polls
The loss to Oregon State sees the Bruins drop.
The Top 25 Polls are out for this week and the loss to Oregon State has hurt the Bruins. UCLA fell to #25 in both polls as a result of the team’s loss to the Beavers.
Both polls have the same teams in the Top 5 with Washington being the highest-rated Pac-12 team following their win over the Oregon Ducks at home yesterday. Meanwhile, the Ducks fell to #9 in the AP Poll and #11 in the Coaches Poll after the loss.
After beating the Bruins, Oregon State rose to #12 in the AP Poll and #13 in the Coaches Poll. The Utah Utes come in at #14 in both.
The lone bit of good news for Bruin fans is that Notre Dame’s win over the Trojans has caused Southern Cal to drop like a rock to 18th in the AP Poll and 16th in Coaches Poll after being ranked in the Top 10 last week.
Four future conference-mates of the Bruins are in the Top 25 this week. Michigan and Ohio State sat tight at #2 and #3 in both polls, respectively, while Penn State fell one spot in each to 7th in the AP Poll and 6th in the Coaches Poll. The only other Big Ten team in this week’s poll is Iowa, which is ranked ahead of UCLA at 24th in the AP Poll and 23rd in the Coaches Poll.
Here are the both complete Top 25 polls:
UCLA’s next game will be on Saturday against the Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto. It will be a late game with kickoff set for 7:30 pm PT and the game will air nationally on ESPN.
Go Bruins.

We've seen it ourselves, this team can be a champion. but something has to give. We've relied on Moore's arm and died by his poor decision making. We saw Schlee spark an effective running game. While both could use more experience, which? The season is prolly over (no post-season) so who gets the growing time?
We cannot run out a Quarterback who spots the opponents 7 -17 points every week. It's demoralizing for fans, the defense, the other offensive players. This is on Chip 💯 percent. He should be an Offensive coordinator somewhere else. Not a Head Coach at UCLA. Chip has to go !
