Rankings from AP Poll

The 2006 Arizona Wildcats football team represented the University of Arizona during the 2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were coached by Mike Stoops in his third season with the Wildcats. The team completed the season with a record of 6–6 (4–5 against Pac-10 opponents), which was their first non-losing season since 1999 and an improvement from Stoops’ first two seasons.

The Wildcats would earn another November upset victory, when they defeated California, that became the team's top moment of the year.[1] Despite finishing the season with six wins (which would have made them eligible for the postseason), the Wildcats did not earn an invitation to a bowl game, perhaps due to having a losing conference record.[2]
