Arizona’s résumé reads like a top-of-the-bracket profile because it pairs signature neutral-site wins over Florida and UCLA with a true road victory at Connecticut that show it can beat quality opponents away from home, and it has backed those moments with lopsided wins over Utah Tech, Northern Arizona and Denver to keep the record spotless. The Wildcats have not suffered a damaging loss and have protected the resume at home, which matters when committees weigh resumes. Remaining road tests at BYU and Houston and marquee neutral games against Auburn and San Diego State give Arizona clear chances to cement its standing or expose vulnerability, but the current mix of high-end road and neutral success plus a string of dominant results explains why it projects to the very top.
