Sonoran Hot Reads: CBS ranks every college basketball team, Arizona 15th

This is quite the undertaking

We're used to seeing Top 25 lists in all the college sports, but how about every single team ranked? Well, CBS Sports did it, ranking all 351 college basketball teams before the season gets started. The Arizona Wildcats fall in at 15th. They aren't the highest-ranked Pac-12 team though. That honor goes to Cal, who happens to be right in front of UA at 14. UNC is No. 1, Gonzaga is Arizona's highest-ranked opponent at 10th (Michigan State's 11th). And where is UCLA? 51. ASU? 88.
