Week 9 NFL Power Rankings : The "Movin' On Up" Edition

by Aditya T (smashville) on Nov 10, 2009 2:10 PM CST in NFL Power Rankings

Rankings for Week 9 after the jump. We went up or stayed steady again in every ranking this week. Average spot is 24.

ESPN - up three to #23

With VY at QB, receivers have turned reliable, CJ has gone crazy and the defense has improved greatly. (Kuharsky)

Yahoo! Sports - steady at #25.

How gutsy was that Vince Young option call on fourth-and-inches – and how sweet was Chris Johnson’s move on 49ers linebacker Parys Haralson before slipping in for the winning score?

Pro Football Weekly - up two to #24.

Vince Young ... game manager?

CBS Sportsline - up five to #24

Vince Young is 2-0 as a starter. Really? It helps that Chris Johnson is running wild.

Fox Sports - up one to #24.

FIRST-HALF BLESSING: Who knew the 0-6 start may have been a blessing? It took six straight defeats to start the year for coach Jeff Fisher to resort to giving QB Vince Young another shot as a starter..

The Sporting News's Power Poll - up three to #23.

Chris Johnson could win the rushing title, and QB Vince Young has been steady.

Is it just me...

or does Pete Prisco always seem to BS his statements out of you-know-where? Not that I disagree with his assessment of the Titans, but just sayin’

I've always been alot more interested in wins than rankings...

but I guess if you get one, then you get the other. Let’s face it, nobody expected this team to turn things around. But those of us that have been following the men in blue always knew that the talent was there. So it was really just a matter of getting their attitudes right. I’m in sales, so I know that sometimes I get into these slumps were it just feels like I’m going thru the motions. Then I snap out of it and I tell myself “you’re better than this”. Then I start pitching with all my heart and my success returns. You can have all the talent in the world…but if everything’s not right in that 6 inches between your ears…then it doesn’t matter.

What If Sports has us #11

No really.

And over at NFLPowerRanks, we’ve actually got the Titans at 23 overall, thanks in large part to What If.
