Arizona had eventual Pac-10 champion the Oregon Ducks on the ropes before letting
them off the hook in an overtime loss that may have cost them the Rose Bowl. They also suffered a 33-36 loss at Washington but did beat Oregon State and the USC Trojans on the road. The Wildcats will need to develop their defense and consistency to be a serious contender for the league title in college football picks especially since the Pac-10 conference is wide open so the opportunity is there.
