Massey took honors for best prognostications in Round 15, his second consecutive win and
fourth win of the season. Dunkel pulled up the rear once again, by a mile. Vegas retains
the season lead, by just a fraction of a point over Dolphin, with Dunkel easily in last place.
Four road wins were projected for Round 15, but the BYU win in Mnahattan didn't happen, nor
did the Texas Tech win in Orlando. No road wins are expected in Round 16.

It has occurred to me that the inconsistency value can be somehwat misleading,
because it depends on how many total points you score. To use an extrene
example, a soccer team that scores 1 or 2 or 3 goals per game isn't going to
have an inconsistency of 10 points! Take two teams with identical inconsistencies,
the one that scores fewer total points will have a smaller inconsistency value. That
is exemplified by Houston in the Big 12. So, as an experiment, I have normalized
the inconistency values to a total score average of 150 points per game, and that
is shown in the second column, which is the column I have sorted on this time around.
TCU remains the most consistent team in the Big 12.

Both Baylor and Kansas were at home, with Houston arguably being a stronger opponent
than Texas, so it comes as no surprise that Baylor leapfrogged Kansas in strength of
schedule. But with Kansas ending the regular season in Houston, that ought to be
enough to put the Jayhawks back on top.
