Led by Rich Rodriguez in his third year as head coach, the Arizona Wildcats finished the 2014 regular season with an 10–4 record (7–2 in Pac-12 play), marking the second time the program had ten wins in a season. They won the Pac-12 South Division for the first time in school history, thereby advancing to the Wildcats' first Pac-12 Football Championship Game, where they faced the Oregon Ducks at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California before losing 51–13. The Wildcats played in one of the New Year's Six bowls in the first year of the College Football Playoff with a berth in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, the school's third major bowl appearance, where they faced the Boise State Broncos, losing 38–30.

Recruiting class

The Wildcats would go on to land another top 10 recruiting class in 2015 (#41 by Scout, #41 by Rivals, #39 by ESPN, and #41 by 247).

The Wildcats would also add two transfer players: graduate student David Catalano (OL) from San José State who is able to play immediately, as well as John Kenny (LB) from Iowa who sit out two years to satisfy the NCAA's transfer rule.

All-Americans

Each year several publications release lists of their ideal "team". The athletes on these lists are referred to as All-Americans. The NCAA recognizes five All-American lists. They are the Associated Press (AP), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), Sporting News (SN), and the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF). If a player is selected to the first team of three publications he is considered a consensus All-American, if a player is selected to the first team of all five publications he is considered a unanimous All-American.
