Arizona tops Pac-10
coach’s poll
Coming off its seventh national title a year ago, the Wildcats were chosen to win the Pacific 10 Conference this year in the preseason Pac-10 coaches’ poll.
After correctly choosing the eventual Pac-10 winners each of the last two seasons, the coaches gave Arizona a two-vote advantage over last year’s conference champion UCLA.
