Bob Chesney implores UCLA team to ignore Top 25 poll ranking.
UCLA · San Diego StateHowever, these rankings and high praise from the college football world can go away in an instant with a few losses. Chesney told his team, via Cal Post’s Ben Bolch .
“If you pay attention to what you did to get that number, and only focus on that, and improve on that, maybe the number even gets better.” Some 4-0 records hold more weight than others.
UCLA ‘s 4-0 record is an example of one that holds a little more weight, as three of their four wins have come against P4 opponents. The other win came against the Pac 12’s San Diego State (28-10).
Through four games, UCLA boasts an undefeated 4-0 record and sits at No. 21 in this week’s AP Poll. Nobody knows this more than UCLA head coach Bob Chesney , who is lighting a fire under his team after they moved up two spots in this week’s AP Poll.
