Arizona's close calls to Colorado and Utah apparently cost them in the Associated Press Top 25 media poll, in which the Wildcats dropped from No. 3 to No. 4.

Arizona remained No. 3 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.

Louisville (13-1), which beat Kentucky on Dec. 29, overtook UA to reach the third spot in the AP poll.

No other Pac-12 teams were ranked, though UCLA received the 30th most votes and Oregon received the 34th most.
