UCLA football gets a message in the College Football Playoff rankings

The UCLA Bruins being placed at No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings may feel nice for a program who have never made a CFP before but the committee gave UCLA a major hint on Tuesday. The message? Lose and you're gone. UCLA might be able to still sneak in the CFP with one loss but Tuesday's rankings show that the Bruins will not be a playoff team if they lose two games. Texas and Alabama have already lost two games this season and they're both ranked ahead of the Bruins , who remain perfect at 8-0.
