  "account": "UCLA's No. 8 ranking faced disapproval from the College Football Playoff selection committee, but the Bruins responded with a dominant performance against Minnesota. The team emerged from the game as a perfect 9-0, the first such record since 1998. Despite a tightly contested first half, UCLA took control in the fourth quarter, scoring two consecutive 75-yard touchdowns to secure a 34-20 victory. Quarterback Ty Dieffenbach, playing out of position, led the offense with an impressive display, completing 303 yards and three touchdowns on just eight passes. Minnesota's defense, which had limited passing yards all season, struggled mightily against UCLA's lethal passing attack. The victory marks UCLA's most impressive performance in weeks and solidifies their status as a bona fide College Football Playoff contender.",
  "summary": "UCLA is 9-0 and done asking for respect. After beating Minnesota, the Bruins gave the CFP committee another reason to believe.",
