Can Arizona make the College Football Playoff?
Arizona can't make the college football playoff, as the Wildcats have six losses. The focus will be on winning its final three games and at least being bowl-eligible.
Despite the disappointing season, coach Brent Brennan says the team is practicing hard to get the extra game for its seniors.
"For our football team, I think it's critical that we attack practice and meetings like we did over our first bye week," Brennan said, via Rivals. "I think that was really good. I think we spaced out the days off so that our team had a chance to recover a little bit, but really keep our foot on the gas pedal on the improvement of our football team...
"I think the most important thing is as the players and coaches, we stay together and we move forward together," Brennan said. "I think that's one of those things that is hard to do when you lose games and the outside world tries to pull them apart. These players care about each other and care about their coaches."
Brennan also confirmed that there won't be any staff changes as Arizona hopes to turn it around in 2025. He also says the coaching staff has done well with recruiting, which should help them going forward.
