10. UCLA (AP rank: No. 18)
Penn State made a case for this spot, but it surely’s but to play anybody of notice, and struggled with a 1-3 Northwestern workforce. So UCLA, who upset No. 15 Washington in a battle of unbeatens, sneaks into the No. 10 spot on this checklist, regardless of sitting at No. 18 within the AP Ballot.

He’s run for 124, 104, 111, and 78 yards in his 4 video games, and has 5 touchdowns. UCLA could have one other enormous check this week as they welcome the Eleventh-ranked Utah Utes into the Rose Bowl.
