Rankings for Week 11 after the jump. We went up in every ranking this week. Average spot is 17.

NFL.com's "experts" - up two to #19.

ESPN - up three to #19

Vince Young increasingly appears to be an answer, not a question. (Kuharsky)

If Vince Young continues to improve, and the Titans continue to win, would anyone be happy about facing this team in the playoffs?

Pro Football Weekly - up two to #21.

Chris Johnson gunning for one of the all-time yardage seasons.

CBS Sportsline - up three to #19.

They are somehow still alive at 4-6. Winning four consecutive games after opening 0-6 is impressive. Vince Young is doing a nice job.

Fox Sports - up three to #18.

Remember everyone chuckling when after the Titans finally won a game, RB Chris Johnson told the media that the team was going to shoot for 10-6? Four down, six more to go and no one's laughing at the Titans — especially the opposition having to deal with the more mature (so far) Vince Young and the NFL's rushing leader Johnson.

The Sporting News's Power Poll - up four to #19.

Riding a four-game winning streak, and learning that Vince Young has matured.

What if Sports's rankings - up one to #8

They're running some kind of bizzaro computer model.

Actually, I would have us in the top 10 right now

The way we are playing. I would do power rankings based on how we are playing RIGHT NOW, and there are not 10 teams in the league that would beat us right now.

I agree with the computer in this case.

It seems that most of the power rankings are merely adjusting the pecking order of the standings. The ranking doesn’t address the strength of a single team (most of the time), but how the all teams stack up for pertaining to reaching the playoffs. The only time I’’ve seen the strength of the team address is when the Patriots or Colts or whoever else is at the top screws up and loses a game. Then the loss is glossed over.
