BYU did indeed extend their free-fall to four games by failing to hold serve at home against Houston.
Ending the free-fall won't be easy with a road game at Baylor, in which the Cougars are favored by a
mere point.

Round 12 features one game on Big Monday, four games on Tuesday, two games on Wednesday, and two teams
have byes.

N.B.  For Round 10, I updated the projected win totals for West Virginia and Cincinnati, who played the
last game of the round on Thursday, but apparently I failed to update their win/loss records.  Mea culpa.

Playing Utah at home really hurt the strength of schedule rating for Kansas, but not its ranking.
Not to worry.  After playing Arizona on Monday and Iowa State on Saturday, the Kansas rating will
be just fine.

Only two road wins ahead of the long-term one-in-three trend for the moment, but five road wins
are projected for Round 12.  A couple of those are really toss-up games, and the one in Lawrence
we hope to prevent from happening.

Road wins (30 out of  83)                     Home losses                                     RW-HL
