A total of four Big 12 teams made the latest US LBM Coaches Poll following Week 12 of the college football season.
Texas Tech, which continued its dominance over UCF, remains the highest-ranked Big 12 program, at No. 7, moving up one spot. BYU rebounded after losing to the Red Raiders and took down TCU this week, pushing itself up to No. 11.
Utah moved up one spot as well after putting up 55 points against Baylor on the road. The Utes remain very much in the mix for a College Football Playoff berth.
Cincinnati fell at home to Arizona, dropping the Bearcats out of the rankings, but Houston enters at No. 24.
Other Big 12 teams receiving votes are Arizona (23) and Arizona State (16).
The most significant move of the week was Texas, which fell eight spots to No. 18. Houston, a new team in the poll, moved up five spots to No. 24. North Texas (No. 23) and Tulane (No. 25) joined them as the other newly ranked teams.
The top three remain the same (Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M), but Georgia, Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas Tech and Oklahoma all move up one spot following Alabama's loss to the Sooners. The Crimson Tide now sits at No. 10.
