10. UCLA Bruins

Previously Ranked: 16

Record: 9-0

Raise your hand if you thought UCLA was going to topple Kentucky in historic Rupp Arena.

That was a marquee win for a program that had mostly feasted on weak in-state competition to this point. I can’t wait to see if Steve Alford’s team has really figured it out when they host Michigan and Ohio State in the next couple weeks.

The Bruins are an absolute juggernaut on offense with six players averaging double-figures. Their offense ranks 2nd nationally and they have the 5th best adjusted offensive efficiency. This team isn’t great on defense with three freshmen in the main rotation, but they have all the firepower in the world to try and conquer the Pac-12.
