    Things like power rankings mean nothing to me. They just give fans something to debate about.

    This is not really a power ranking in the way you are thinking, the results are based completely on an objective mathematical formula. It might even be possible to have an 0-8 team as the top ranked team in some bizarre scenario.

    Someone had to devise the formula though, and how that came to be would be subjective, right?

    I suppose. I don't think this guy manipulated the formula to make the Dolphins look good though, it seems like he uses it for gambling purposes.

    Not necessarily. He likely could have just run a regression model, and the formula is a result of that model.
