UCLA Bruins Reach No. 4 in College Football Playoff Rankings

The University of California, Los Angeles, football team holds the No. 4 spot in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. The new list arrived Tuesday night, marking the highest position in the school's history.

The Bruins stand 9-0 after defeating Minnesota 34-20 on Saturday. That victory propelled them up four places from their previous standing. Only one other team in the country remains undefeated: Utah, which sits at No. 2. The Utes also hold a 9-0 record.

Georgia moved into the top spot after Miami lost to Notre Dame. Alabama holds the No. 3 position with a 7-2 record. The remaining top five includes Notre Dame at No. 5, also with an 8-1 record.

UCLA has three games left in the season. The team hosts Illinois this Friday, then travels to Michigan on Nov. 21. The season finale takes place at the Rose Bowl against the University of Southern California.

The Trojans, ranked No. 18, improved by two spots this week. They are 7-2 and coming off a bye week. USC plays at No. 9 Indiana on Saturday before hosting Maryland on Nov. 21. That schedule leads into the crosstown rivalry game against UCLA.

The rankings will be released weekly until Selection Sunday on Dec. 6. On that day, the final playoff field will be determined. Boise State is the only non-Power Four team in the top 25, ranking No. 24 with an 8-1 record.
