After a poor and mistake filled game against Virginia, the U.C.L.A. Bruins dropped out of the Top 10, falling from 7 to 11 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Only South Carolina had a bigger free fall from the Top Ten after Week 1 of the college season.

Florida State remains number one, despite getting a test from unranked Oklahoma State (which unofficially moved up to #26 if you count other votes). Ohio State also struggled for much of their game against Navy but fell just one spot from #6 to #7. So much for the arguments that either of those two games had any relationship to U.C.L.A.'s struggles with the Cavaliers. It's clear that the country saw the same problems with the Bruins that we saw.
This response has implications for Brett Hundley's Heisman campaign, too, although as IEAngel noted, Brett actually played a very good game within a terrible offensive performance.
Luckily, it's a 12 game season, and the Bruins will get a chance to change some minds beginning Saturday with the home opener against Memphis.
GO BRUINS!
Hopefully, this will
