UCLA climbs in latest AP Top 25 poll after homecoming win over Colorado
UCLA moved up to No. 20 in the latest AP Top 25, released on Sunday.
The Bruins (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) climbed three spots in the new media poll after a 28-16 win over Colorado at home on Saturday. UCLA put up 487 yards of offense and ran away from the Buffaloes in the fourth quarter. Touchdown runs by TJ Harden and Collin Schlee in the final period pushed UCLA’s lead all the way to 28-9 at one point, and another dominant display from the defensive front helped secure the win.
UCLA held the Buffs to just 3.8 yards a play and 1.6 yards per rushing attempt, and they sacked CU’s Shedeur Sanders seven times.
Up next, the Bruins have a date with one of the hottest teams in the Pac-12 — the Arizona Wildcats. The two will kick off in Tucson at 7:30 p.m. PT on FS1 next Saturday.
UCLA is joined in this week’s poll by No. 5 Washington, No. 6 Oregon, No. 16 Oregon State, No. 18 Utah, and No. 24 USC.
