25	Iowa State Cyclones	The bubble is growing stronger. JMU and Texas were on the cusp last week and performed admirably in their games this weekend but Mississippi State and Iowa State have both begun to pick up momentum. The computers love the Bulldogs while the Cyclones are clearly improving as the season goes on, which means their true strength is probably somewhat above what the computer numbers are showing.
