When you win four-straight games in January, you tend to move up a little bit in the polls, and that's exactly what the Arizona Wildcats are doing right now.

The Pac-12 leaders are now sixth in the AP Poll. Here's a look at the entire thing:

Utah remains the only other Pac-12 team in the polls at No. 11. Stanford is still receiving votes, but drops a little bit from where they were last week after they let Matt Korcheck run rampant on them. The Wildcats have votes as high as third and as low as ninth.

Arizona plays an early week with games on Wednesday against Oregon and Friday against Oregon State in McKale Center.
