UCLA is not ranked highly among the 18 teams in the Big Ten for the 2025 football season, but games are won on the field, not in the summer off-field.
In the 15th annual cleveland.com B1G preseason media poll, UCLA is ranked No. 15. The Bruins received 134 votes, which was one vote less than the two teams ranked No. 13. They also wrote that "UCLA and Washington had the widest range of votes this year."
