<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">There is no logical reason for the Jaguars to win a game and fall one spot or the Dolphins to lose a game and actually gain one spot in the rankings (they're now 15th). That makes no sense. If one of the worst teams in the league beats one of the teams in the top half of league because it played better than that team, there's no way to explain why the winning team loses ground while the losing team gains ground.

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">Not only did the Jaguars lose a spot, but the teams that were ranked behind them (Tampa Bay and Oakland) each rose three spots after beating teams that were ranked slightly higher than the Dolphins after Week 1. The Raiders are now 28th and the Buccaneers are now 29th.

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">The Jaguars didn't beat the Dolphins because the Dolphins were without several key players or because the Dolphins turned the ball over five times. The Jaguars out-played the Dolphins -- and did it down six starters by the game's end (LTLuke Joeckel, TE Julius Thomas, DT Sen'Derrick Marks, DE Andre Branch, SSJohnathan Cyprien, and CB Davon House)."
