computer rankings, Arizona didn't face a top 100 opponent in their 11 nonconference matches.

Even after playing consecutive top 25 matches against Baylor and TCU to start conference play, their total SOS on the season only moved up to 155 in the country out of 300+ teams.

AZ got a set from Baylor but was annihilated in the other sets and also was annihilated in a 3 set sweep by TCU.

So overall AZ is a good team, but not the top of the conference. BYU has much more difficult Big 12 opponents ahead of them.
