Go Joe Bruin ranks the UCLA Football team’s 2017 games from easiest to toughest. What will be the Bruins’ hardest game next season?

The UCLA Football team will have one heck of a time trying to bounce back from a 4-8 season in 2016 as they embark on another treacherous schedule in 2017.

UCLA has 12 games in the regular season and every single one of them should be a battle. Despite the talent that they will face, UCLA is in “must win” mode.

if Jim Mora and his Bruins want to show that last year was an anomaly, then they need to dig deep and come away victorious in as many of these games as possible. So to analyze the type of year they might have, let us look at their opponents by weakest to toughest:

12. vs Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, Sept 9

At this level of college football, no game will be a cakewalk.

The Bruins need to take every single game and play harder than they ever have if they want to bring UCLA back to national prominence.

But with that being said, certain opponents will be a little bit easier to handle than others and taking this list into consideration, one team has to be the weakest on the Bruins’ schedule.

That is where Hawaii comes in. If UCLA does not watch themselves, this resurging team could run all over the Bruins. Fortunately for UCLA, they have the talent to help them get a victory over this scrappy Hawaii squad.
