6. vs Oregon Ducks, Oct 21

Honestly, this game is up in the air and that is why I think it will be extremely tough despite being ranked 6th on this list. But that is the thing about UCLA’s schedule, it is pretty brutal all around.

Oregon is in transition as new Head Coach Willie Taggart takes over a program that was heading in there wrong direction the last few seasons.

in addition, UCLA has not defeated Oregon since 2007, so no pressure there.

The bottom line is that UCLA has to be better than their opponents and they are going to have to find a way to defeat Oregon no matter if they continue their downfall or if they become Chip Kelly-esque once again.
