Iowa State got a road win, playing 2.5 points above expectation, while
Arizona won at home, playing 3.4 points above expectation.  That was
enough to propel the Cyclones into first place.  Interestingly, Pomeroy's
ratings also flipped them.  Kansas remained in sixth place by virtue of
playing 5.1 points below expectation, despite winning in stunning fashion.
So the Jayhawks picked up about 0.2 of a projected win by winning the game,
but then lost about 0.1 of a projected win over the remainder of its
schedule by playing below expectation, thus minimal change in the number
of projected wins.

Baylor is the best winless team, and life doesn't get any easier with
Houston next on its schedule, while Colorado is the worst undefeated
team, having benefited by starting with Arizona State and Utah, the two
cellar dwellars; we'll see how they fare against Texas Tech.

Seven games on Saturday and one on Sunday in Round 3.
