Despite being picked to finish last in the Pac-12 South last season, the Wildcats surprised a lot of people last year, when Arizona started the season 6-2. Khalil Tate was big part of that early season success, however, the Wildcats couldn’t sustain it, losing four of their final, five games (including their bowl game).
With a new coach in tow, 2018 has plenty of hype and excitement. Kevin Sumlin comes to Tucson with a lot to prove, but also with numerous weapons to succeed quickly.
Early on, Arizona is considered a sleeper to possibly win the Pac-12 South. While, a lot would need to go right, perhaps it’s not too much of a stretch.
The Wildcats return a lot of talent, both offensively and defensively, and more importantly, they have seven games at home and their early Strength of Schedule (SOS) ranking is 63rd overall.
As some are projecting Arizona to possibly win seven games or more, we figured we would breakdown the schedule, ranking the Wildcats’ opponents from worst to best.
And here we go!
