Arizona Wildcats ranked 24th in AP Poll

Oct 28, 2012, 4:47 PM | Updated: 8:41 pm

Following their 39-36 upset win over previously 9th-ranked USC on Saturday, Rich Rodriguez and Co. were bound to receive a boost in the polls.

On Sunday, their efforts against the Trojans were rewarded, as the Wildcats found themselves at No. 24 in the Associated Press’ Top 25 Poll. They are the only three-loss team to be ranked.

UA was previously ranked in the Top 25 back in Week 4, but were blown out 49-0 by Oregon on Sept. 23 and quickly fell out of the prestigious poll.

The Wildcats are one of six teams in the Top 25 hailing from the Pac-12. The others include: No. 2 Oregon, No. 13 Oregon State, No. 15 Stanford, No. 18 USC and No. 25 UCLA.

Only the SEC has more teams in the Top 25 with seven representatives.

Matt Scott and the Wildcats travel to the Rose Bowl next Saturday to face the Bruins, who are fresh off a last-second 45-43 win at ASU.
