Big Ten power rankings. . . . . . 10. . . 518

UCLA was a respectable 8-5 in 2023 with a 4-5 conference record, but they have been through their fair share of changes this offseason. They lost head coach Chip Kelly to Ohio State as an assistant, and their quarterback Dante Moore to in conference foe Oregon.

However, new head coach DeShaun Foster showed good leadership for the Bruins by being active in the spring window. While the Bruins lost three guys, Foster was able to bring in swift replacements with three guys of his own.

Even though UCLA will be in a new conference with a new head coach in 2024, they seem like they will be alright and competitive, but still need a few more years to grow under Foster.
