Although both West Virginia and Oklahoma State lost, the Mountaineer loss came at
home while the Cowboy loss was on the road, so West Virginia drops into the cellar.
Kansas State beat a depleted Bear squad which slid below Texas in the projected
standings, while Iowa State suffered an unexpected home loss to TCU, which caused
the Wildcats to ascend into first place and the Cyclones to drop below both Kansas
and Texas Tech, who picked up a road win in Norman and in the process edged out
Kansas for second place.  However, because the season cannot end with fractional
wins, one should think of the latest projection as representing a three-way tie at
12-6.

Only one road win was projected for Round 11, but four occurred, so we're now one road win ahead
of the long-trem one-in-three average.  Two road wins are projected for Round 12, but KU's game
in Fort Worth is effectively a toss-up.
