Here they are, the Power Rankings for week 10. Enjoy :D
The Drum Roll:
Wow! What a great win. Sunday I saw the Miami team I have been hoping would show up all year. This win was more than the Bears looking past us. This was a clear, decisive victory over the top ranked team in the NFL. That statement is backed up by an average jump in the Power Ranking of 5 places. You do not jump in the rankings like that a week after being called the worst disappointment in the NFL because you got lucky. Anyone who watched that game saw a team that was on fire, a team that walked into a home stadium where the hosting team hasn’t lost in 10 straight games and hasn’t allowed a 100 yard rusher in almost 3 seasons. A team that walked away with not only a win, but with 157 yards rushing. Miami so soundly beat the Bears, sports writers are questioning whether the Bears are legit contenders.
That is no fluke. All that and more gives sound proof of what kind of victory the Dolphins pulled off Sunday. This is a win worthy of a proud franchise. Enjoy it Miami fans! Wins like this don’t come everyday.
Later and GO FINS!!!!! :D

Comment: Many people expected this team to quit on Nick Saban. Not so fast. He did a nice job getting them ready for the Bears.

Dolphins Rank: 28 (+3)
Comment: Ronnie Brown had his best day of the year, ripping through the league’s most feared defense for 157 yards on the ground. Joey Harrington looked more like Dan Marino than Scott Mitchell Sunday, tossing for three touchdowns in the win as well. Miami ruined yet another undefeated team’s stab at the ’72 Dolphins place in history with the win. Want drama? The Colts play Miami in Week 17. If Indy’s undefeated entering the gameâ€â€well, I can’t imagine that one being hyped at all. Nope, not one bit.

Comment: The running attack was sensational against the Bears. The defense was superb. The passing attack? Well, there were no turnovers, except for the two picks. You watch, they're ready to make their move. Just as I predicted. Before this season is over, I will be the toast of South Beach. I will be feted by the crowned heads of Europe. Anyone can pick someone like the Colts to win it all.

Comment: It’s amazing what one team can do when they play with intensity and desire. Perhaps it took a little questioning of their soul to bring out their heart.
