Lightning struck twice, and Iowa State fell to TCU, while Baylor escaped with a win over
a West Virginia team that had a 2 point lead with less than 2:30 to play, so Baylor took
over fourth place from the Cyclones.  No other changes in the projected standings.

Real Time, known for using a larger home court advantage, took honors for best prognostications in
Round 15.  Greenfield retains the season lead.

Only one road win was projected for Round 15, and it didn't happen, which isn't a big surprise
considering how it was projected to be nearly a toss-up.  So we're now only two road wins ahead
of the long-term average of one-in-three.  Just one road win is projected for Round 16, with TCU
traveling to Morgantown, and that one might not happen, as TCU hasn't been that great on the road,
while West Virginia just gave Baylor everything the Bears could handle before falling late.

The inconsistency for Kansas jumped by over a point, yet the Jayhawks are still the
conference's most consistent team.  It would have been highly unusual if a game like
that had not happened at some point during the season.

A little surprised that Texas Tech's Strength of Schedule ranking didn't improve very much
after playing Kansas.  Playing tough opponents on the road helps the most, so Baylor should
climb a lot by the end of the regular season.
