This Friday, the Arizona Wildcats and the Arizona State Sun Devils face off in the least meaningful Territorial Cup since at least 2011 (the year Mike Stoops was fired) and maybe since 2003 (the year John Mackovic was fired).
The Wildcats are playing for pride, trying to salvage a Territorial Cup win after losing every conference game so far this season. The Sun Devils are playing for pride, too, but they’re also playing for bowl eligibility, trying to scrape their way to six wins so they can secure a trip to whatever marginal bowl game will take them.
