UCLA Football News: Bruins Ranked Easiest Schedule Among Pac-12 Teams

Smooth sailing in 2023 for your Bruins?

The UCLA Bruins will be entering their final year of being a part of the Pac-12 Conference. This will be their 95th and last year in the conference, and it's been a whirlwind or a time filled with ups and downs. 

The Bruins will look to end it on a high note, and the schedule makers went easy on them, at least according to CBS College columnist David Cobb. Cobb ranked the Pac-12 schedule from toughest to weakest, and the Bruins found themselves at 12, having the weakest schedule among their conference mates.

UCLA plays the three Pac-12 schools with first-year coaches (Arizona State, Colorado and Stanford) and misses both Oregon and Washington. The Bruins do play five Pac-12 road games, including contests at Utah and USC. On the whole, however, this is one of the more manageable slates in the league, especially now that nonconference foe Coastal Carolina is going through a coaching transition from Jamey Chadwell to Tim Beck.

UCLA won't face the Pac-12 powers in Oregon or Washington, but it won't be easy as they have some tough road games going to Corvallis against Oregon State, Palo Alto against Stanford, who always plays them tough, Arizona on the road, and their biggest rival USC at the Coliseum this November. 

The Bruins catch a break with no Oregon or Washington, but that doesn't mean it won't be easy. Still, it is slightly weaker than their other counterparts. 

The season is upon us, and we cannot wait to get the ball rolling soon.
