The Arizona Wildcats left Tucson on Wednesday afternoon for their final road trip of the regular season, and depending on how it goes—and what a few other teams do—they could return to town next week as Pac-12 champions.
Second-ranked Arizona (24-2, 14-1) has a 3-game lead in the loss column on USC (23-4, 12-4) and UCLA (20-5, 12-4) with five games remaining. If the Wildcats win their next three, starting Thursday at Utah and continuing Saturday at Colorado before going to USC on Tuesday, they would clinch at least a share of the regular-season title, while any losses by the Bruins or Trojans would speed up the process.
