At the beginning of the season, No. 17 Arizona wasn't looked at as one of the top teams in the Big 12 and was sitting at 4-3. The Wildcats then managed to rip off five straight wins with marquee games over then-No. 25 Cincinnati and then-No. 20 Arizona State.

The opting out of standout safeties Dalton Johnson, Treydan Stukes and Genesis Smith from playing in the Holiday Bowl against SMU was not the only reason why Arizona lost Friday night, but it was a significant one, especially early on as the Wildcats tried to adjust without them.
