I never put much stock in power rankings. It's opinionated, and often biased. I think any team moving up or down by 6-8 places based on one week is absurd.

That being said, I read these rankings. I have no qualms with Miami being as low as they are, but...

25. Cleveland Browns [2-4]: Shut down Miami’s Wildcat formation [with TB Ronnie Brown behind center in the shotgun formation], essentially ending the game. [-3]

26. Miami Dolphins [2-4]: Turns out that the Wildcat formation is the only way the offense can score. [-3]

Miami hasn't and doesn't play the Browns this season. This logic is flawed.

*aside* I'm not turning this into any kind of Fins thread. It just happened to stick out because it's my team.
My point is simply that I think power rankings are (for the most part) a joke.
