No. 14 BYU has rolled to a 5-0 start this season, and it will get another Big 12 test this weekend in the form of Arizona. The Cougars can clinch bowl eligibility with a win, but the Wildcats are capable of pulling off the upset.

In a wide-open Big 12, BYU looks like a team that could work its way into the conference championship game, as well as the College Football Playoff conversation. The Cougars' road trip to Baylor a couple of weeks ago proved to be a tricky matchup, but they were able to pull out a 34-28 win thanks to a fast start on both sides of the ball.

BYU jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, but had to hang on down the stretch. The late push by the Bears was fueled, in large part, by three Cougar turnovers. BYU will need to clean that up this Saturday afternoon.

Arizona has had an uneven start to the year, and it's coming off a frustrating loss to Texas Tech. Quarterback Noah Fifita did throw for 301 yards, but he did so on 49 attempts while also tossing a pair of interceptions. The Wildcats will need a bounce back from him to hand BYU its first loss of the season.

One Wildcat who doesn't need to rebound after last week is star wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who caught eight passes for 161 yards. The Cougars must find a way to contain him on defense, otherwise it could be a long afternoon.
