Bottom 25 College Football Rankings: Wisconsin, Purdue Enter While UCLA Resurfaces
The latest Bottom 25 rankings for Week 8 see new additions from the Big Ten, with Wisconsin and Purdue joining the list after lackluster performances in recent games. UCLA, on the other hand, has remarkably escaped the rankings after turning their season around under interim coach Tim Skipper.
UCLA Turns the Tide
The UCLA Bruins started the season poorly with an 0-4 record, suffering defeats to teams from the Mountain West and losing their coach, DeShaun Foster. However, under Skipper’s guidance, they secured an impressive victory against Penn State and followed up with a 38-13 win over Michigan State.
Wisconsin and Purdue Fall
Despite their hopes, Purdue could no longer stay out of the Bottom 25 as they now find themselves amidst tough competition. Wisconsin has notably been struggling, recording four consecutive losses, raising questions about head coach Luke Fickell’s tenure.
