The Arizona Wildcats are one of just five unbeaten teams left from power conferences, yet that’s still not enough for them to make it into the top 5 in the polls.
The UA (11-0) is ranked 6th in the latest Associated Press Top 25, up from No. 8 a week ago. That’s its best AP ranking since being No. 2 early in the 2018-19 season.
The Wildcats also picked up one first-place vote, the first time that’s happened since having 11 in the third poll if 2018-19.
Arizona is coming off a pair of blowout wins at home, beating Northern Colorado 101-76 and Cal Baptist 84-60, but the road is about to get much tougher.
