No it's not about emotion. It's about not knowing the strength of your opponents. Suddenly beating Arizona, now that they have lost to New Mexico, does not look very impressive. And of course, the loss to UCLA is looking less impressive.
Now if you had thought UCLA would be 2nd in the pac-10 and that Arizona would be 5th or 6th, you're pretty happy. But if it turns out the UCLA is 5th and Arizona is 9th, then you have to readjust.
Arizona is obviously not in the same universe as a signature win. Before it was a very good win. Now it's a ho-hum win.
