The UCLA Football team cannot qualify for a post-season bowl game as they will not be able to meet the 6-win requirement. The Bruins only have one more game left in the regular season and have a 4-7 record.
If UCLA beats Cal this Saturday, that will only put them at five wins for 2016. That might be just enough to get them a bid for bowl season.
How is this possible? Thuc Nhi Nguyen breaks it down via the Orange County Register:
UCLA could play in a bowl game at 5-7 if there are not enough six-win bowl-eligible teams to fill the 40 bowl games and the Bruins’ academic progress rate (APR) of 972 is one of the highest among 5-7 teams.
