Various national college football publications and sites have ranked UCLA's football team for the 2025 season, and they are not ranked in the top 25 among the national college football publications.
Many of these rankings include all 136 FBS teams instead of just the traditional top 25, and most place UCLA in the middle to even lower tier. These projections are influenced significantly by the Bruins' 3-6 Big Ten record last season and their not making a bowl game.
According to Athlon Sports, UCLA ranks 62nd out of 136 teams in the FBS.
