Bob Chesney puts zero stock in rankings; UCLA fans will love his take

After Saturday’s dominant 27-0 victory against Nevada , UCLA is 8-0 and is now ranked as the No. 5 team in the country for the first time since 2001 — when Bob Toledo was running the program. The program is now headed by Bob Chesney , and he not only has them headed to their first bowl game since 2023, but they’re looking poised to make the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history. On Monday morning, Chesney appeared on the ESPN show, “Big Day,” hosted by Peter Schrager, answering questions on the team’s focus.
