If Arizona soccer coachΒ Tony AmatoΒ can coach the 9-2-1 Wildcats to a victory at Washington, No. 18 in the RPI, today, it’s likely Arizona would jump into the national polls for the first time since 2005. But the upcoming schedule is nasty. The Wildcats will play at No. 1 UCLA on Friday, followed by No. 3 Stanford at home Oct. 24. Arizona’s highest-ever ranking was No. 10 in November 2004. It reached No. 16 a year later.
