Where is Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Sam Ponder and the rest of the College GameDay crew headed for Week 4? 

College GameDay is heading to Tucson, AZ for the Pac-12 showdown between the Arizona Wildcats and UCLA Bruins with the winner sitting in the driver’s seat for the Pac-12 South division title after the first month of the 2015 season.

Both teams are undefeated but there will be some notable absences from both sides with UCLA without defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes who is out with a torn ACL and Arizona is without All-American linebacker Scooby Wright who is recovering from a knee injury suffered in the opener.

But both teams have great young quarterbacks in Anu Solomon and Josh Rosen, the Bruins freshman phenom who looked like a freshman in UCLA’s narrow win over BYU in Week 3.

Both teams also feature two of the greatest running backs in the country with Nick Wilson and last year’s Pac-12 rushing champion, Paul Perkins, who is coming off his best game the year with 219 yards vs. BYU.

This should be a great game in the desert and after USC lost to Stanford last night and Arizona State has a loss on their schedule, this could be the game that gives us a clear front-runner in the division.

But that’s probably still premature with so much football to be played, but it will give us an idea if UCLA is “for real” and if Arizona can win on their home field, we have to start asking ourselves if Rich Rod can lead the Cats to a second straight division title.
