Bully ball: Top-ranked Arizona manhandling opponents during undefeated start
January 15, 2026
Arizona has become the bully on the block. A program known for its free-flowing offense and efficiency, the top-ranked Wildcats have added a dose of bulk to beat teams down during their undefeated start to the season. Arizona has heft to go with its length and has used it to shut down one opponent after another. The Wildcats have been No. 1 in the AP Top 25 for five straight weeks and are off to their best start since opening 21-0 in 2013-14. Arizona is still efficient on offense, but has become more physical on defense to remain one of three remaining undefeated teams in Division.
