The Arizona Wildcats have generated their first No. 1 rating of the fall preseason predictions.

Sporting News tweeted out its annual yearbook cover today, calling Arizona No. 1 and putting Rondae Hollis-Jefferson on its regional cover.

SN's Mike DeCourcy said of UA in the yearbook:

"This is a big, physical team that defends the rim well; center Kaleb Tarczewski and power forward Brandon Ashley provide as solid an inside presence as a team could want. What the Wildcats would seem to lose with the departure of Aaron Gordon should be covered by the elevation of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to a greater role. Point guard T.J. McConnell has experience running a high-level team and carrying it through difficult moments."

Meanwhile, looks like SN and DeCourcy also saw that Elite Eight game, putting Wisconsin and Frank Kaminsky not far behind at No. 3.

Kentucky was No. 2 in SN's Top 10, followed by Wisconsin, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Louisville, Virginia, Florida and Wichita State.
