UCLA Bruins face projection of another losing season under Bob Chesney

The UCLA Bruins may struggle during the 2026 season, as College Football Zone predicts a record of 4-8 for new head coach Bob Chesney. This projection signifies the possibility of a third consecutive losing season for the team, despite the arrival of over 40 new transfers. Last season, interim head coach Tim Skipper led UCLA to three wins before a five-game losing streak. In 2026, College Football Zone forecasts wins against San Diego State, Purdue, Michigan State, and Nevada, but losses to Cal, Maryland, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, and USC.
