Pac 10 #2 Conference, UCLA one of the "country's hottest teams" per WWL
This week the Pac 10 jumped the Big 10 into the #2 conference spot, still behind the SEC by 6 points.
But even better, the WWL hints that UCLA is on the rise by saying "The Pac-10 is home to three of the country's hottest teams, and one of them isn't even ranked," the hot unranked team, of course, being our boys in blue. It seems our recent merits also outshadow our record as they continue by saying "UCLA, which started the season with an 0-2 record, upset then-No. 23 Houston and then-No. 7 Texas the past two weeks."
Per tWWL: UCLA 6th Best NFL Pipeline
Interesting article about College to NFL Pipelines based on performance. The math seems a little odd (MVPs count as much as All Pro second team), but UCLA comes in 6th, ahead of Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Go Bruins!
Ted Miller's Best Case/Worst Case for UCLA Football
Ted Miller's been doing Best Case/Worst Case scenarios for all the Pac-10 teams. I only hope the Best Case comes true.
Interesting, too, how completely opposite the best/worst cases are. I think it shows that UCLA really could go either way this year
Offensive lineman Sonny Tevaga is no longer with the program. I am told it is an academic issue, and he will not be with the team in the fall.
UCLA competitive with SEC teams in 2009?

Over on the WWL's Pac 10 Blog, they have been doing a series of "Mythical Matchups," pitting conferences together to see how they would fair. In this video, Ted Miller and Chris Low discuss the Pac 10 vs SEC match ups. Of course there's the usual USC vs Florida that everyone wants, but there's an interesting comment by Chris Low with around 2:00 left in the video, where he mentions that UCLA could be a top tier team in the Pac 10 this year, and that he expects them to beat Tennessee in 2009.
Sure, I think this is a given, but this does raise an interesting point that UCLA, as early as this year, could be competitive with mid-range SEC teams, and adding to the effort to legitimize the Pac 10 in the eyes of certain ahem voters.
Thoughts?
Ivan Maisel sits down with Ted Miller and Chris Low to pit the Pac 10 and the SEC head-to-head.
GO BRUINS
