UCLA football eyes final Big Ten title game appearance in December

UCLA Bruins football is poised for a chance to feature in the last Big Ten Championship game on December 5, 2026. With a current record of 9-0, UCLA is the only Big Ten team without a conference loss this season. The expanded College Football Playoff format will eliminate the championship game starting in 2027, highlighting the significance of this year's event. For UCLA to secure their spot, they need to win at least two of their remaining three games against Illinois, Michigan, and USC. Coach Bob Chesney's team hopes to avoid a scenario where losing could benefit their rival, USC, in the playoff race.
