Kansas State - Texas Tech

Arizona State - Utah

Iowa State - BYU

BYU - TCU

TCU - Iowa State

Baylor - Arizona

Tech - Houston

Utah - Arizona State

Colorado - Kansas State

Kansas - Cincy

Cincy - Kansas

UCF - Baylor

WVU - UCF

OSU - WVU

Houston - Colorado

Arizona - Oklahoma State

 

We would argue that Tech and Utah made the biggest jumps, although neither were a real surprise. Arizona was the surprise, despite their finish.

Iowa State took a step back, but were still solid. Colorado and Baylor were much worse than expected. So it goes.
