When it lost for the first time this season, in the Pac-12 opener at Utah, Arizona dropped six spots in the Associated Press poll.
The second time the Wildcats were defeated, this time at home against Washington State, the fall wasn’t quite as steep.
Arizona sits at No. 9 in the latest AP Top 25, down fiour places from where it had been the previous three polls.
The Wildcats are no longer the highest-ranked Pac-12 team in the country. That distinction belongs to UCLA, which climbed from 10th to 7th after beating USC at home last week for its 11th straight victory.
