Week 14 NFL Power Rankings: Tennessee Titans Roundup

by Aditya T (smashville) on Dec 13, 2011 10:35 AM CST in NFL Power Rankings

After the jump is a roundup of where the Titans are ranked in various power rankings around the internet for Week 14. It will be updated as more rankings are posted.

	This Week	Last Week	Commentary
ESPN	13	13	Three wins to end the season could still produce a playoff berth, but their margin for error has been used up. (Kuharsky)
NFL.com	16	16	Welcome to the 2012 Titans. Jake Locker wasn't perfect, but he certainly made some plays for his team, much like he did in the loss to the Falcons earlier in the season. Tennessee's focus is getting a wild-card berth at this point, with the 8-5 Jets currently controlling their own destiny for the sixth seed. The playoff outlook may look bleak with the Texans clinching the AFC South yet, considering the Colts and Jags are next up on the schedule, it ain't over until that one member of Wilson Phillips sings.
National Football Post	16	15	Jake Locker is a rookie, but he still has to find a way to avoid a sack on the final play of the game.
Sporting News	17	16	MVP: QB Matt Hasselbeck - He brought much-needed stability to the position, and you can bet his influence has helped rookie backup Jake Locker play so well in relief.
CBS Sports	14	14	It's looking like a non-playoff season. If that's the case, was the Matt Hasselbeck move really a good one?
SB Nation	13	9	The Texans have already clinched the AFC South but the Titans have three very winnable games coming up -- at Colts, Jaguars and the season finale against a Houston team that may have nothing to play for. Tennessee will be a player in the playoff scenarios.
Fox Sports	13	13	The Titans gave it everything they had against the Saints, but fell just short after rookie backup QB Jake Locker couldn't find an open receiver in the end zone at the end of the game. While I still believe that Matt Hasselbeck, if healthy, has earned the right to start down the stretch, they may just have something special in Locker for years to come.
ProFootballWeekly	14	12	Locker showed promise in rally, and then his youth on the final play.
ProFootballTalk	15	13	If Jake Locker had been the Week One starter, he’d be a candidate for rookie of the year.

Pete Prisco has the intelligence of a rock.

... wait.

Almost everyone has the Broncos in their top ten power rankings.

That’s bullshit.

It's amazing.

Billick said something that I actually agree with.

The Force is with you, young SkyLocker, but you are not a Jedi... yet!

For a guy who covered the Sparkle Kitties before going national, you would think Prisco would be more familiar with the Titans.

What an idiot. He’s just upset the Sparkle Kitties have gone to hell this season. And no matter how much you may trumpet about Gabbert, we know who got the better QB in the draft…

Banned from Stampede Blue for comments made on MCM. Yes, I am a champion.

Totally unrelated but according to cbs we signed Kevin Malast, LB from Rutgers who recently was on the Jags I think

And he is the son of a former teacher of mine

Oh hai MCM

I mean. ... for real?

It’s looking like a non-playoff season. If that’s the case, was the Matt Hasselbeck move really a good one?

In what conceivable way could it possibly be a bad move?

We’ve already exceeded expectations without winning anymore games and our passing attack has developed lightyears from where it was previously. We’re ranked 14th in the NFL in passing …. I’m pretty sure we haven’t been up that high since 04-05 or earlier.

For the Jake of argument ...
