UCLA · Alabama · Texas

Joel Klatt wonders how much football CFP committee has ‘watched’ before ranking UCLA. The College Football Playoff selection committee put the UCLA Bruins at No. 8 in its first rankings on Tuesday, behind the two-loss Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns.

The game was still in doubt in the fourth quarter when Ty Dieffenbach found Aidan Mizell for a 75-yard touchdown that put UCLA ahead for good. On the Bruins' next offensive snap, the same two connected for another 75-yard score.
