UCLA Football: The Possibility of Losing Out
There is a real possibility that the UCLA Football team could lose their last three games and miss out on bowl season.
There is a very real possibility that the UCLA Football team can lose their last three games and finish the season 3-9. It is fun times in Westwood right now.
Without a doubt, there has been complete implosion of the UCLA Football team. They went from potential rulers of the Pac-12 South to divisional cellar dwellers. If it was not for Arizona and the really bad season they are having, UCLA could be last in the South.
And it does not get any easier.

The Bruins are down to their last three games and if they want to become bowl eligible, they have to win all three, but what could very likely happen is they lose all three games. With the product they have put out on the field this season, UCLA could fall to Oregon State, USC and Cal.
Oregon State still seems like a winnable game, but in this conference, do not count any team out. The Beavers, despite being 2-7, 1-5, have been picking a few fights lately. Recently they battled it out with both Utah and Washington State and almost had the win. Who is to say that they cannot do the same against UCLA.
Then there is USC who is rolling right now behind backup-turned-starter Sam Darnold at 6-3. This weekend they play at Washington and if by chance the Huskies beat the Trojans, they is probably not a good sign for the Bruins the week after.
Then UCLA ends up in Berkeley for their regular season finale. If they do not win all three of these games, it will in fact be their whole season finale. The Bruins do not have a good track record playing in Memorial Coliseum and even though Cal is having their own troubles, the potential to lose on the road against a conference, state and UC rival is very much real.

Hopefully the Bruins can put up some more fight, fight, fight so that the season is not a total loss.
