Way Way WAY too early 2020 UCLA football predictions

If you didn’t catch it, BRO released the UCLA football schedule for 2020. Going completely off the top of my head with absolutely no evidence or proof to support my conclusions, I’m going to predict our wins for next year. I will share a bit of my gut instincts, which are as reliable as gas station sushi, with you our valued readers. Feel free to rip me new one in the comments or you can contribute to my Patreon if you agree! Here goes!!!

Aug 29 New Mexico State – Win

No seriously, how could we possibly lose to a Division II team that pretends to be Division I? Despite the last two years, Chip finally delivers a season starting win because the scheduling gods have finally given him a break

Sept 5 Hawaii – Loss

Wait, Wh0t? How can we lose to Hawaii? Sadly, because Chip is our HC, that’s how. Hawaii’s best coach (possibly ever) Rolovich was hired away to Wazzu, yes this is true. But they beat two Pac-12 teams last year so they know they can beat us. Also, reading the tea leaves they will most likely hire from within which means continuity. Who ever is promoted will have lots of evidence from the two previous years as to why they can beat us.

Sept 19 SD State – Loss

Do I really have to give you a reason, my poor deluded reader? Rocky Long is gone but like Hawaii, I expect they will promote from within and more continuity. They beat us last year On. Our. Field…now they get us at home? Aztec tailgate is going to be a good one (for them) in 2020.

Sept 26 Stanford – Loss

No chance of catching the Trees late in the year, all banged up and against a 3rd string QB. Stanford goes back to treating us like the red headed step child of the Pac-12…because we are (at least under Chip).

Oct 3 Arizona – Win

Yep, you heard it here first. Arizona sucks and will continue to do so. We are 1-1 against them under, but we take advantage of home field. Chip gets to rub his buddha belly once more this season.

Oct 10 ASU – Win/Loss

This one’s tough for me. Chip is 1-1 against Herman and I can see this going either way. It's a home game for Sparky, but Herman also has track record of underwhelming at times. So...tie?

Oct 17 Colorado – Win

Depending on ASU, we might have another win streak for ‘ol Chipperoonie! Or not. Don’t get too excited… last years ‘streak’ fizzled out. Colorado is rebuilding and much farther to go than us (is that even possible?)

Oct 29 Utah – Loss

Utah is Utah and will have a well-coached team. It will be interesting to see if Mique Juarez does anything for Utah. Or was he a flash in the pan and nothing comes from it?

Nov 7 Oregon St – Win/Loss

Hmm, I don’t know… On the one hand any game against Oregon State should be a win. "Should" being the operative word. They beat us at home last year, and now we are on their field. Expect the crowd to be loud and rowdy. Their coach has them well on their way for a rebuild (aren’t they constantly a rebuild?) I would call this a win, except…well you get it.

Nov 14 Wazzu – Loss

I initially called this a win, then Wazzu went all competent on us and hired a good coach as fast as cake is gone at a birthday party. Nick Rolovich might be exactly what Wazzu needs to stay relevant and (dare I say) exceed the Pirate’s stay at the Cougar’s Den?

Nov 21 u$c – Loss

This game may be at home but we lose this one. Helton is not a better coach than Chip, but he has a decent staff. His OC has another year to build on with their QB (who hasn’t shown flashes of being an inexperienced newb) and WR’s.

Nov 27 Cal – Win/Loss

Chip is again facing a 1-1 with Cal; I would’ve said this is a Win, except Garbers will be more experienced and Wilcox seems to be doing a good job with Cal. But will Garbers have the same knack for getting hurt? Will he be 100% by the end of the year?

Dec 4 Pac-12 Championship – fuhgetaboutit
