A total of three Big 12 teams made the latest US LBM Coaches Poll following Week 12 of the college football season.
Texas Tech, which was off this week, remains the highest-ranked Big 12 program, holding steady at No. 7. BYU continued its quest to Arlington by taking down Cincinnati on the road and remains at No. 11.
Utah staved off an upset bid against Kansas State and stays at No. 14, but is jumped by Miami. The Utes remain very much in the mix for a College Football Playoff berth if they can take care of business in the final week of the season.
Houston (No. 24) fell out of the rankings following a loss to TCU. Big 12 teams receiving votes are Arizona State (86) and Arizona (30).
The most significant move of the week was Pittsburgh, which moved up 11 spots after a massive win over Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets, on the other hand, fell seven spots to No. 19. SMU and Pitt are the two new teams to the poll, joined after being unranked last week.
With nearly every top team taking care of business, the top 11 all remained the same.
