Most of this looks about right to me. I'm surprised that UCLA is at 9.5. They lost a fair amount of talent on defense, and will be going with an untested QB. Enlighten me if you have a different view...
I'm with you pc. UCLA has a lot of returning starters, but until they beat Stanford and/or Oregon, I have a hard time taking them too seriously.

They lost Kendricks (LB), Odighizuma (DE) and Hundley (QB) to the draft on top of Jefferson (CB) who was a key coverage player. They return 17 of 22 starters so that is why people are so high on them, but they fail to note that one of the replacements is either a true freshman QB (doesn't matter if it is Rosen) or a non-threatening Neuhisel. There running game with the lack of a very strong RB will not be enough to give their new QB a break....pin those ears back, defenses, and crash the QB!
Eight wins is their ceiling.
