Just one more day, World of Wildcats!

The Arizona faithful have been waiting exactly 262 days for tomorrow. A big-time showdown with a big-time opponent to find out how much has changed since the UA got big-time destroyed in San Diego.

The time is going to drag on until Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. TWIT-Pac has the games to help distract your anxious mind.

A blowout victory on national TV, a bunch of positive press, and a shiny new top-25 ranking. It’s been a good week for the Arizona Wildcats. But how do they stack up against the rest of the Pac-10?

We’re going to do something different this year. With so many Pac teams arguing they can make a run at the conference crown we’re going to narrow down the list of contenders each week Survivor-style. Sometimes it’ll be a mathematical elimination and sometimes it’ll just be common sense saying a team is done.

I will also attempt to put the remaining contenders in order. This won’t be a power ranking that looks at what each team has accomplished. It’s going to be a forward-looking guess at the teams with the best chance of making it to Pasadena when you consider record, remaining schedule and, yes, talent.
