The Texas Tech walloping of West Virginia, coupled with Baylor's loss to Texas, caused
the Red Raiders to take over fourth place from the Bears.  Iowa State barely won their
road game in Norman, while Kansas failed to win their road game in Manhattan, and the
result is that the Cyclones are now the front-runner, though Kansas barely held on to
second place over the Wildcats.  Because the Jayhawks are not in a position to hand
Iowa State another loss, they are officially in the position of needing help.  First
half of the conference season is on top, second half is below.

My home court adjustment to the performance-adjusted Sagarin ratings took honors for best
prognostications in Round 10, with honorable mention to Greenfield, who retained the season
lead.

Only one road win was projected for Round 10, and only one occurred, but it wasn't the one projected.
Instead it was one that propelled Iowa State into the driver's seat for the conference crown.  So we're
now one road win behind the long-term average of one in three.  Just one road win is projected for
Round 11, as Texas travels to Morgantown, though Texas Tech has a toss-up game in Norman.

The inconsistency for West Virginia and Texas Tech jumped, as expected when a game
margin is almost 19 points from expectation.

Well, Texas Tech is right back in the cellar in terms of Strength of Schedule.  Oklahoma
State cracked the Top 10 and ought to climb further after traveling to Lawrence this
Saturday.  A road trip to Manhattan padded the Jayhawks' lead in Strength of Schedule
even further.  Playing a conference doormat at home will erode that lead slightly.
