Giving this another shot and yes, both Arizona and ASU dropped from last week’s projections. I’d like to elaborate further on the Sean Miller – Arizona situation but as of the time this was posted, there is no news. If I were a betting man, I’d guess that Miller doesn’t coach the Wildcats again but hopefully I’m wrong.
In the meantime, take a look at my second-to-last projection for Selection Sunday:
