Athlon Sports forecasts that the UCLA Bruins will finish 12th in the Big Ten Conference for the 2026 season. Under new head coach Bob Chesney, who has brought in several transfers, UCLA aims to improve from last season's 3-9 record. Despite expectations for improvement, the team may face challenges, particularly with a revamped offensive line, which could hinder offensive performance. Athlon's Steven Lassan expresses optimism that, depending on progress, a bowl game appearance could still be within reach for the Bruins this season.
