Summary
Stew and Bruce discuss the CFP rankings and Matt Campbell's controversial comments this week. The guys then welcome new UConn Head Coach Jim Mora to the show. The big question: why did you take the job? Mora says he plans to build the program and win. He wouldn't have taken the job if winning wasn't the goal. The transfer portal will be key to turning things around but you have to use it properly. Mora also talks about his time at UCLA and what drives him as a coach on the field and a man off of it. Plus, mailbag questions on Ohio State, the Pac-12 and the Virginia Tech job opening.

| 0:58.1 | I feel like every week Gary Barta finds a way to just kind of poke everybody. |
