UCLA is the latest Big Ten program to pull a successful head coach and team core away from James Madison. The Bruins are entering October undefeated and have higher visions of success on their mind.

UCLA College Football Playoff Prediction
I am predicting UCLA will miss the 2026 College Football Playoff.
Bob Chesney’s Bruins team is a very fun story, and it does seem like UCLA will be a major factor for years to come in college football. But I think late-season road games in the Midwest may be a challenge for this Los Angeles team, and the softer Big Ten schedule draw doesn’t leave much room for error.
