What does it mean for the Wildcats? The magic number this week was 199 points. Needless to say the Wildcats one point was not enough to get them in. With ASU and USC having down years Arizona will have an uphill battle to end the season in the AP top 25. They have to win out and have a convincing performance in their bowl game.
In front of the Wildcats – Nevada (2), Auburn (2), Kentucky (2)
Behind the Wildcats – Central Michigan (1)…and no one else. The Wildcats are that close to falling completely off the AP’s radar.
BCS Watch: Oregon (8), Oregon State (16), USC (20), Cal (22)…I suggest cheering for another Pac-10 team. Overall the conference is up and getting praise. That’s good for recruiting, which is always good for the program.
