The UCLA Bruins (9-2, 6-2) are slowly moving up the ranks after another strong win for head coach Jim  Mora and company. After a 38-20 beat down of the USC Trojans in the Crosstown Showdown, the Bruins move into the Top 10 at #9. UCLA have proven that they belong with the top teams in college football in the past few weeks as they have won five straight since losing to Oregon, who has already clinched the Pac-12 North Division. UCLA also benefits from Ole Miss losing this weekend as they formerly held the #8 spot.
