Bubble Talk
UCLA moves solidly into the field with an impressive win at Arizona. They now have 4 wins against the RPI top 50. Kansas State re-enters the field as well with a 17-7 overall record and 3 wins against the RPI top 50. Western Kentucky (1 win against RPI top 50) and Boise State (0 wins against RPI top 50) fall out of the field. Louisville hanging in there despite an 0-6 record against RPI top 25, 1-8 against RPI top 50. I still think Mississippi State is within striking distance. Temple has 3 wins against the RPI top 25 - can they keep winning?
