The San Diego St. Aztecs have a nice 12-2 record and finally have made their way into the USA Today coaches poll and UNLV jump up to No. 17. UNLV also is tied with Syracuse for the most wins to date with 15. The New Mexico Lobos are still getting some love in the polls by receiving votes and have won 10 games in a row.

Conference play is a mere two weeks away and most teams still have a pair of non-conference games to pad a few more wins.

The poll is after the jump.
