I'm more interested in why JMU made a 6 position jump, I personally don't see them as a top 20 team.

Yeah them too.

Looking at the numbers, both teams jumped more because of what happened around them (7 teams that were ranked above them last week lost) than anything else.

And, in the case of JMU, a 5-0 record in a resume-based bracket goes a long way even if they're not playing strong teams. That being said, I have JMU's strength of schedule ranked 110th so far this season and projected forward as 99th through the end of the season, which ain't great. Even if they keep winning they're probably pretty close to hitting their ceiling unless lots of weirdness happens at the top of the rankings.
