Arizona is sixth nationally in the initial 2025-26 NCAA NetRatings. Michigan, Purdue, Duke, Vanderbilt and Gonzaga are first through fifth. Wins over Utah Tech, Northern Arizona and Denver likely bring the Net Rating for Arizona down. The NCAA explained the NetRatings.
"The NET includes more components than just winning percentage. It takes into account game results, strength of schedule, game location, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses."
Arizona is 2-0 early in the 2025-26 season against quadrant 1, 1-0 versus quad two and wins over Denver, Northern Arizona and Utah Tech are all quad three.
