TV Schedule: ESPN

Where They Stand:
No. 12 Arizona Wildcats (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12)
No. 22 UCLA Bruins (-6.5) (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12)
The No. 12 Arizona Wildcats face off with the No. 22 UCLA Bruins in another matchup of ranked opponents and a Pac-12 elimination game.
UCLA quarterback and Heisman Trophy hopeful Brett Hundley spoke about the Pac-12 and what the Bruins need to do to come out on top of the power conference.
"There have been tight games, but we have pulled through in a lot of them, and (we) understand that we still have the opportunity to do what we need to do and to get to where we want to go, which is the Pac-12 championship," he said. "We can still do it.”
Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said that containing Hundley will be the big challenge for this Wildcat team and of they can contain him they will be the team that come sour on top.
"The biggest difference preparing for him is his willingness to run, and when he does run, he is fast," Rodriguez said. "He is a big guy that breaks a lot of tackles. You will see a lot of times that someone thinks they've got him pinned up or tackled, but he will break through an arm tackle.”
Both teams find themselves in the new Top 25 according to the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, but the Wildcats are only of the few teams in the Pac-12 that remain alive for consideration for the tournament. If the Wildcats cane win the Pac-12 they will have a strong case as the team that should be considered as a top four team in the nation.
This notion also comes with the assumption that they defeat No. 5 Oregon on their way to a Pac-12 title.
UCLA leads the all-time series against Arizona 21-15-2. Although the Bruins have come away with the past two meetings, the Wildcats had taken five-straight from UCLA prior to that run.
