Following their late-night beatdown of Arizona, Washington State has moved up two spots to No. 7 in the latest the Amway Coaches' Poll. The Cougars are the Pac-12 highest-ranked team and the conference's only hope for a playoff spot with two weeks remaining before Selection Sunday. Wazzu moves into a spot previously occupied by West Virginia before the Mountaineers lost 45-41 at Oklahoma State. West Virginia drops five spots to No. 12. Otherwise, the top six teams in the top 10 remain the same. 

Another big winner from Week 12 is UCF, which also moves up two spots to No. 9 after handling Cincinnati 38-13. The Knights have their highest ranking of the season in the Coaches Poll while riding a 23-game winning streak. 

Most of the movement in this week's poll comes in spots 20-25. Four new teams -- Northwestern, Boise State, Army and Pitt -- make an appearance while Iowa State, Cincinnati, UAB and Boston College have fallen out of the rankings. 

Here's the entire Coaches Poll with first-place votes in parenthesis.
