PAC-12 Football Power Rankings – Week Ending 11/8
9. Arizona Wildcats (3-6, 1-5)
Last Game: Utah 45 – Arizona 20
The Wildcats’ defense is miserable and scoring points against them is expected. The offense, however, struggled. After the game, head coach Jedd Fisch admitted that Arizona “couldn’t get any momentum.”
This Week: at UCLA, 7:30 PM – FOX
This makes back-to-back road games against Top 15 teams for Arizona. They’ll probably get the same results. Unfortunately, another loss costs them bowl eligibility.
8. Arizona State Sun Devils (3-6, 2-4)
Last Game: UCLA 50 – ASU 36
In most games that Arizona State scores 36 points at home, they expect to win. UCLA isn’t like most teams. They are number 10 for a reason.
The Bruins came to Tempe and blew the doors off ASU’s defense. From where the Sun Devils were when Herm Edwards was fired, they are showing big improvements. Kudos to ASU for putting up a good fight.
This Week: vs. Washington State, 12:30 PM – Pac-12 Networks
Washington State isn’t UCLA, but the Cougs are on a roll after their huge win last week. It will be tough for ASU to defend against the Air Raid.
