College football rankings: Arizona Wildcats move up to 16th in AP, Coaches polls

Slowly creeping up the list

With a big win on Saturday, combined with a few lackluster performances from other ranked teams, the Arizona Wildcats have moved their way up to 16th in both the AP and Coaches polls after week three.

22	Wisconsin	Oklahoma State	Northwestern
23	BYU	Missouri	Kansas State
24	Oklahoma State	Stanford	BYU
25	Missouri	Auburn	West Virginia

These latest rankings mean that Saturday's game against UCLA will feature the two highest-ranked teams in the Pac-12 South, now that USC is down at 19 and 18. Utah is right behind Arizona as well, but guess what? Still no ASU.

According to College Poll Tracker, AP writers have Arizona ranked anywhere from 14th (Mike Sands - WLBT - Jackson, MS) to unranked (five writers). For real, five guys still don't think Arizona is a top 25 team.

Let's give them reason to believe it next week.
