projected Big 12 standings, Round 5

Oklahoma's big win over TCU was enough to leapfrog both TCU and fellow loser Iowa State
into fifth place in the projected standings.  Although Iowa State and Texas both lost,
the Cyclone's loss was so much more than expected that they also dropped below Texas.
No other changes, though the separation between Kansas and Baylor continued to shrink.
