Ducks await...but Wildcats need to stay afloat

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: The Arizona Wildcats' football team find themselves in second place in the Pac-10 with a 3-1 record (5-2 overall).

That's a far cry from some of the preseason predictions by the prognosticators who picked the Wildcats to finish near the bottom of the 2009 standings.I know you know, and I know, that the Oregon Ducks are now the team to beat, after their convincing win last night over USC, but we all know from past experiences that we shouldn't look ahead

Chances are Mike Stoops will see to it the players get that message this week as they prepare for Washington State. Still it's a fun week to be a Wildcat fan.   Ranked No. 21 in the country and with an outside shot of finishing 8-4 (oops! getting ahead of myself, again),t he Wildcats should have their way with the Cougars on Saturday at Arizona Stadium.

Shall I offer up a prediction?  How about Arizona 44,Washington State 14?

We'll talk about it on Sunday.
