Poor Arizona, I have them in essentially all of my blowout lists and that’s because, well, the Wildcats are going to be comically bad this season.

Jedd Fisch has taken over for Kevin Sumlin who was fired after an 0-5 season in which he capped off his Arizona coaching career with an embarrassing 70-7 loss to rival Arizona State on his own field. That’s demoralizing not just for a coach, but for every player who appeared in that game.

The program took a major hit last season and rebuild mode has commenced.

If you think Arizona is going to be anything more than a free win for most Pac-12 teams each week, you are probably in denial or are a massive Wildcat fan — or both.

Utah should have its way with the Wildcats here in mid-November to lead into some confidence to close out the season. This blowout win could give the Utes the momentum they need to pull off the upset over Oregon the following week.
