DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa State has its work cut out this week as the Cyclones face another top-ranked team on Saturday when Number 4 Oklahoma goes to Ames.

Iowa State is coming off a 56-3 blowout by Texas which moved up from Number 23 to 19th in The AP's Top 25. It was the Cyclones' worst home loss since 1987.

ISU coach Gene Chizik says he's concerned about his team's confidence but says every week they're bouncing back.

Iowa State is 1-6 overall and 0-3 in the Big 12 while OU is 6-1 and 2-1 in the conference.
