The team was coached by third-year head coach Jim L. Mora and played its home games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. They were members of the South Division of the Pac-12 Conference. The team was featured in the Pac-12 Network's The Drive program. The Bruins were ranked No. 7 in preseason national polls, and were expected to contend for not only one of the four berths in the inaugural College Football Playoff, but also the national championship. They started the season 4–0, often struggling, before suffering consecutive home losses to the Utah Utes and Oregon Ducks. After dropping out of the polls, they re-emerged as playoff contenders with five straight wins. However, UCLA lost their final home game to unranked Stanford, costing them the South Division title, a spot in the Pac-12 Championship, and any remaining shot at a CFP berth. They concluded their season in the 2015 Alamo Bowl with a win over the Kansas State Wildcats, 40–35, and a 10-win season. It was the ninth 10-win season in school history, and just the third time in their history that UCLA had won 10 games in consecutive seasons.Bonagura Kyle Trotter Jake Valero Alamo Bowl: Kansas State Wildcats vs. UCLA Bruins Jake Trotter December 7, 2014 ESPN.com https://www.espn.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/105094/valero-alamo-bowl-6 https://web.archive.org/web/20141208194215/http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/105094/valero-alamo-bowl-6 December 8, 2014 live On the season, the Bruins outscored their opponents by a combined total of 435 to 365.
