Big 12 power rankings. . 5. . . . . 511. .

The Arizona Wildcats are heading into a new conference with new opponents, but it seems like they won't be phased at all. The Wildcats were a top team in a competitive Pac-12 conference last season and had a chance at winning the title.

After coming off a 1-11 season, Arizona had 10 wins last season and had a chance to play in the championship, but Oregon took that spot. Arizona has a great look at the future with quarterback Noah Fifita and top receiver Tetairoa McMillan.

Even with the departure of Jedd Fisch, the Wildcats are looking to be strong in 2024. If Fisch had stayed, they would probably be ranked No. 1 right now, but a new head coach can mean a lot of things.
