6. Arizona

Last year, ASU got to seven wins with a Territorial Cup win against the Wildcats. Arizona, however, has only improved since then and will be thirsty to reclaim the cup.

The combination of new coach Kevin Sumlin and preseason Heisman candidate Khalil Tate makes Arizona a dark horse candidate for the Pac-12 South.

Not only have the Cats improved, but this matchup has always gone to the home squad as of late. As always, there will be tons of hype surrounding this game, but I don’t expect it to be close.

Will ASU win?: No.
