10. UCLA Bruins

Previous Ranking: 9

Record: 15-1 (2-1 Pac-12)

UCLA has won three straight since dropping an epic game at Oregon. The Bruins have run through Oregon State, Cal and Stanford and get struggling Colorado next.

T.J. Leaf still leads the team in scoring at 17.4 points per game. His fellow freshman Lonzo Ball is averaging 14.7 points and 8.0 assists.

The loss to Oregon definitely showed UCLA can be beaten with experience and aggressive rebounding, but this is still one of the easy favorites to take the Pac-12 crown. The team simply has too many dynamic weapons to count them out this year.
