## Summary

UCLA beat Minnesota 34-20 away from home, improving to 9-0 for the first time since 1998. Fox commentator Joel Klatt criticised the College Football Playoff Selection Committee’s rankings and said the Bruins should move up, arguing that their unbeaten record deserved greater recognition.

UCLA recorded 466 yards of offence, including 163 rushing yards; Wayne Knight ran for 109 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Ty Dieffenbach threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns, while the defence limited Minnesota to fewer than 100 rushing yards and forced two turnovers. Before Saturday’s games, UCLA sat behind three unbeaten teams and several teams with losses; it has three regular-season games remaining, including a visit to Michigan on 21 November.
