In its first clash against a Top 10 team, Arizona failed. And as a result its own ranking took a hit.
The Wildcats come in at No. 7 in the latest Associated Press Top 25, down from No. 3 a week ago. The drop is mostly due to their 75-59 loss last Tuesday at UCLA, which moved up from 7th to 3rd, and possibly a little because of how much they struggled to beat ASU at home on Saturday.
Still, Arizona (17-2, 7-1 Pac-12) remains ranked for the 11th straight week after beginning the season outside the Top 25 and is in the Top 10 for the eighth consecutive poll.
