Arizona football: Rich Rodriguez is undefeated in Tucson vs. top 10 opponents

His sample size might be small, but Rich Rodriguez is undefeated in the desert when facing top 10 opponents, 4-2 vs. ranked opponents and boasts a favorable 18-7 record overall at home.

It started back in his first season with Arizona, taking down No. 9 USC in a 39-36 shootout. In 2013, Arizona stunned the No. 5 Oregon Ducks 42-16, with Ka'Deem Carey leading the way. Arizona didn't host a top 10 opponent in 2014, but they did go to Eugene and beat Oregon for the second time in just over 10 months.

When Arizona beat USC in 2012, and Oregon back-to-back in 2013 & 2014, no one expected Arizona to win.
