UCLA is unbeaten. So why is the Rose Bowl full of empty seats?

Halloween was frightening for college football attendance. As reported by USA TODAY , images from Oct. 31 games circulated across social media featuring stadiums filled with sparse crowds. Historic venues for schools from Penn State to Florida State to Oklahoma sat relatively empty. The numbers back that up. A USA TODAY Sports analysis found that in Week 9, when most games fell on Oct. 31, NCAA Division I FBS home crowds were 8.8% smaller than those same home teams’ 2025 average, by far the worst week of the season. One such school facing the bleak returns at the gate has been undefeated No. 5 UCLA. Against Nevada last Saturday, the school posted its lowest season attendance of the season – filling just 24,611 of the 81,258 Rose Bowl seats . The Bruins ’ crosstown rival No. 17 USC had a much better Halloween night, announcing a sellout crowd against then-No. 2 Ohio State. However, those 70,000-plus fans were a bright spot for a school whose attendance is otherwise trending down this season. The Los Angeles-area schools have also been on a downward trend in attendance for much of the past decade, although it’s worth noting that the Trojans ’ LA

The No. 11-ranked UCLA Bruins are defending champions and underdogs—at least for now

The defending champs look a lot different. But even if they’re underdogs, it’s not smart to doubt UCLA. Just seven months ago, the UCLA Bruins tasted victory at the highest degree. They defeated the juggernaut South Carolina Gamecocks 79-51 to win the 2026 NCAA national championship. Fast forward...

“Doing the Worst Job of his Entire Career”: Barstool Podcaster Rips Into Ryan Day After Disappointing Oregon Defeat

The Ohio State Buckeyes are receiving a lot of flak after their massive 41-28 upset loss to the Oregon Ducks in Week 10 on Saturday. The defeat to Oregon, combined with a Week 9 loss to the USC Trojans, is the first time since 2011 that the Buckeyes have lost two consecutive regular-season games, which is indicative of the season they’ve had thus far. Reacting to Ohio State’s underwhelming 6-3 overall record 10 weeks into the 2026 season, Barstool Sports analyst Brandon Walker on Monday’s ‘Mostly Sports’ show expressed his disappointment with the Buckeyes’ performances and placed much of the blame on head coach Ryan Day. Walker further argued that even a potential playoff appearance would not change his assessment of the Buckeyes’ struggles this season. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career. And well, I am not like Dave Portnoy doing the whole, bouncing up and down saying that Ryan Day is terrible; this is pretty inexcusable,” Walker said. “Even if they go to playoffs, this isn’t a very good Ohio State team,” he said. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career” -Brandon Walker https://t.co/PQaOm0q6DQ — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) November 9,

Monroe Ends Season with Frustrating 31-14 Loss to Contreras

LOS ANGELES – There were quite a few offensive drives in last night’s Division III playoff contest when the Monroe Vikings could have taken over the game, but fate had other plans. Dropped passes, miscommunication between receivers and the quarterbacks (the Vikings used two quarterbacks last night), missed tackles, and below-average outside containment on the opponent’s running backs on defense doomed the Vikings to their 31-14 loss to the Contreras Cobras at Contreras High School Stadium in the Westlake area of Downtown Los Angeles.

Mayor-elect Nithya Raman readies L.A. for 2028 Olympics

L.A. Mayor-elect Nithya Raman, who six years ago gave a firm “no” when asked if she supported the Olympics coming to L.A., will be “asked to take center stage at the closing ceremony,” according to Rainey, Haggerty & Zahniser of the L.A. TIMES. Raman’s recent election “won herself a ticket to sit among the dignitaries” for the opening ceremony of the Summer Games on July 14, 2028. In the more than 600 days before the Games begin, Raman will “oversee the city’s preparations.” Those “looking for signs of friction might note that the mayor-elect has closely allied herself with City Controller Kenneth Mejia, who has been locked in a battle with LA28 over its failure to publicly report some of the details of its finances.” It is “unclear what position Raman will stake out in that conflict and another one dear to several members of the City Council -- getting LA28 to agree to set aside a certain percentage of as much as” $4B in contracts to businesses based in L.A. During her run for mayor, Raman “did what she has done on many other issues -- project a more moderate, conciliatory stance on the Olympics” (L.A. TIMES, 11/7).

Third-quarter slump dooms Del Sol football in postseason debut

The first taste of playoff football for the Del Sol High football program was the bitterness of defeat. Montebello scored four second-half touchdowns — three in the third quarter — to snatch away the game, securing a 49-24 win over the Jaguars in a CIF-Southern Section Division 13 first-round game on Friday, Nov. 6, in north Oxnard. “Every game, we have had a nightmare quarter,” Del Sol head coach James Nelson said. “I told the coaches at halftime, ‘One of us is going to pull away.’ … Unfortunately for us, it was them.” It was the playoff debut for a program in its second varsity season, four years after opening its doors to students in 2023. The Jaguars finished its sophomore season 4-7 after going 0-10 last year. More: Check out the scores from high school football playoff openers A tearful Nelson bid farewell to the Jaguars’ senior class after the loss. “We built Del Sol together,” Nelson said. “I have never been that emotional after a game as a coach. It really feels like back to when I played my last game. That’s how my heart feels right now.” Explosive plays, particularly those generated by Montebello star receiver and

No. 21 USC braces for challenge from highly regarded Wichita State

The Lake Tahoe area will host an early-season opportunity for a signature win when Wichita State and No. 21 Southern California meet Sunday in Stateline, Nev. The Trojans and Shockers both opened the season with double-digit home wins. Wichita State came on strong late to hold off Cal State Northridge 79-67 on Wednesday, while USC rolled past Milwaukee 95-63 on Monday. Blue-chip freshmen Darius Ratliff and Adonis Ratliff made impressive debuts in USC's season opener. Darius Ratliff scored 14 points and blocked five shots, while Adonis Ratliff had a game-high 25 points, six rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals. The highly anticipated first-time pairing of Alijah Arenas and Rodney Rice in the backcourt also delivered. Arenas tallied 21 points and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds. Rice recorded 15 points, nine assists and six rebounds in his first game in almost a year. Although Arenas and Rice finished the 2025-26 season as two of USC's statistical leaders, the duo never shared the court. Arenas missed the first two months of the season because of a knee injury sustained in a car accident, while Rice suffered a shoulder injury during the Trojans' Thanksgiving-week run to the Maui Invitational championship.

Murray's AP Top 25: UCLA with a stellar start to the season while Purdue stumbles

Nevada Sports Net columnist Chris Murray is one of 62 voters in the college basketball AP Top 25 poll. Here is a look at his ballot this week. * UCLA: In a matchup of former Pac-12 teams, UCLA knocked off Arizona in the season opener for both teams. Bruins coach Mick Cronin could use a big season after three straight campaigns falling short of the Sweet 16. So far, so good. After UCLA’s 84-75 win over Arizona, the Bruins drubbed North Florida, 114-63. They moved from unranked to 10th on my ballot. Kentucky also went from unranked to ranked, slotting in at No. 25 after beating Manhattan (85-57) and James Madison (89-80).

UCLA Wins Nine Straight to Preserve Perfect 2026 Football Record

UCLA’s remarkable football season reached another milestone in Minneapolis on November 7, 2026. The Bruins defeated Minnesota 34-20, extending their winning streak to nine games and maintaining a perfect 9-0 record. First-year head coach Bob Chesney has transformed a program that entered the season with modest expectations into a serious contender in the Big Ten and College Football Playoff race. The victory was far from straightforward. Minnesota matched UCLA through the first half and remained competitive deep into the fourth quarter. Two spectacular touchdown passes eventually broke the deadlock, turning a closely contested road game into another historic result for the unbeaten Bruins.

College basketball Week 1 overreactions: Believe the UCLA hype?

The long march to March is officially underway. The 2026-27 men’s college basketball season began last week with seven full days' worth of games. While many of the contests were laughably one-sided affairs between major-conference opponents and overmatched foes from smaller leagues, there were some early and informative glimpses about the 365 Division I teams and what they might be able to accomplish this season. There were several matchups between teams ranked in the top 25 of the preseason USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, with No. 1 Florida beating No. 17 Miami , No. 5 UConn rolling past No. 20 Michigan in a rematch of last year’s national title game and No. 9 Virginia drubbing No. 13 Arkansas. There were upsets, too, like Valparaiso going on the road to knock off No. 24 Purdue in double overtime and East Texas A&M stunning Oklahoma . REQUIRED READING: UCLA stunned Arizona. What the Bruins showed should scare everyone Between the excitement over the start of the season, the small sample size of games and the desire to make sense of what we’ve seen, there’s a tendency to make big, sweeping proclamations about what’s unfolded thus far. Oftentimes, they’re overreactions — the kinds

Predicting Week 12 Big Ten Football Game Times

Illinois has won four straight games and will look to knock off top-10 UCLA on Friday in LA. It will be the Illini’s 10th game of the year with Iowa on the horizon for Week 12 inside Memorial Stadium. Illinois is 6-3 and clinched bowl eligibility with its win over Nebraska, but a win these next two weeks could give the Illini an outside chance to make the Big Ten Championship game.
