Make California Post a Preferred Source Game of the week: No. 4 UCLA (10-0 overall, 7-0 Big Ten) at Michigan (5-5, 2-5), 12:30 p.m. PST Saturday on CBS. All hail the Bruins. Having grown weary of Kyle Whittingham, a good chunk of the crowd at Michigan Stadium will undoubtedly be rooting for UCLA to all but finish off the Wolverines’ new coach near the end of a disastrous season. Meanwhile, the Bruins can set a school record for victories in a season.
1. UCLA (10-0) On the verge of a new contract, Bob Chesney needs a book deal. (Last week: 1)
2. Indiana (9-1) In Curt Cignetti we trust: Big Ten title game may match former JMU coaches. (2)
3. Iowa (8-2) Could Hawkeyes give the Big Ten a third College Football Playoff team? (3)
4. Oregon (7-3) Dylan Raiola has rolled against every team except UCLA. (5)
5. USC (7-3) Beer swords are here to stay, but Lincoln Riley’s future hangs in the balance. (6)
6. Ohio State (7-3) Losing to Michigan this year might really be the end of Ryan Day. (8)
7. Wisconsin (6-4) Badgers have fallen a long way since that heady home win over USC. (4)

11. Minnesota (5-5) Hard to believe this team was generating buzz a few weeks ago. (7)
12. Washington (6-4) Huskies just seem like a blah operation under Jedd Fisch. (12)
13. Nebraska (6-4) Cornhuskers believe Greg Schiano deserves a 10-year extension. (13)
14. Maryland (4-6) Back-to-back wins can’t make Terps fall for hire-the-interim-coach trap. (17)
15. Michigan State (3-7) Well, they’ll always have that win over Michigan. (14)
16. Michigan (5-5) Fans might go to Salt Lake City to knock down any Kyle Whittingham statue. (15)
