2010 BCS Rankings Week 2 Prediction: No. 16 Arizona

2010 BCS Standings Previous Ranking: No. 18

Week 8 Result: Win, 44-14 vs. Washington

Why They Are Here: No Nick Foles, no problem for Arizona.

With Foles nursing a knee injury, the Wildcats dusted a puzzling Washington team in the desert Saturday.

Arizona is likely to inch forward a couple of spots from last week's positioning in the BCS.

Staying Power: Although Matt Thomas looked great filling in for Foles, the fate of the Wildcats could depend on just how soon their star quarterback can get healthy.

Arizona travels to UCLA in Week 9, then heads to Stanford in what could be an absolute shootout.

The Wildcats' difficult schedule in the weeks ahead could produce one or even two losses.

At the same time, surviving the next three games without a blemish would set up a huge showdown against Oregon on Eugene on November 26.

Foles will almost certainly back by late November, making things very interesting out West.
