Oklahoma State's road win in Morgantown was enough to get the Mountaineers
into the cellar that the Cowboys were occupying.  Kansas State's road win
in Ames coupled with Baylor's home loss to Kansas enabled the Wildcats to
retake seventh place over the Bears.  Oklahoma's squeaker over TCU coupled
with Iowa State's home loss to Kansas State gave the Sooners third place
over the Cyclones.  No other changes.

The two conference leaders were both projected to pick up road wins in Round 4, and they did,
along with two other unexpected road wins, bringing us one road win ahead ot the long-term
average of 1 in 3.  No road wins are projected for Round 5, however, though Baylor is within
spitting distance of picking up a road win in Stillwater.

West Virginia's inconsistency jumped, but still remains the best in the conference.
Kansas gets the conference's most inconsistent team on Big Monday.
