UCLA finishes regular season at No. 16 in Associated Press poll

With the regular season now over, UCLA is ranked No. 16 in the Associated Press poll — the same spot it held after its Sun Bowl win over Virginia Tech last year.

A 31-10 loss to Stanford on Friday dropped the Bruins seven spots, ending a four-week streak of steady climbs up the national rankings. UCLA is now the third-highest ranked team in the Pac-12, behind No. 3 Oregon and No. 8 Arizona, who will face each other in the Pac-12 Championship this coming Friday.

Jim Mora’s third season will likely end in the Alamo, Holiday or Foster Farms Bowl.
