Over that time, there is no doubt that a rich history has developed between these two programs, and we’ve seen some pretty amazing games and have had some pretty amazing moments along the way!

And as fans of this rivalry, we’ve all become too familiar with the fact that regardless of previous team results, performance, record, etc. everything leading up to this game certainly doesn’t seem to matter as anything can happen in the Territorial Cup game.

Whether it’s conference championships being clinched, both teams playing spoiler, fights, etc. we’ve seen it all!

Luckily, Arizona still holds a lead over ASU despite losing five of the last seven games in this series, but with 49 wins total for Arizona, it’s hard to rank which ones are our favorite.

Nonetheless with the game this weekend, we at Zona Zealots figured we would do our best to rank seven of our favorite/ best wins overall in this rivalry!

(*Note these are just the Top 7 wins in our opinion).
