If it feels like Arizona and Gonzaga are on a collision course to meet at some point soon, you’re not alone. Even the Associated Press voters feel they’re the two best teams in the country.
Arizona has moved up to No. 2 in the latest AP Top 25, one spot better than a week ago and its highest ranking since being No. 2 early in the 2017-18 season. The only team ahead of the Wildcats: Gonzaga, which is No. 1 for the second week in a row and fifth time this season.
The Bulldogs (23-2) received all 61 first-place votes while the UA (24-2, 14-1 Pac-12) was second on all but two ballots, ranking third and fourth on those.
