Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: Tennessee Titans Roundup

by Aditya T (smashville) on Dec 6, 2011 4:03 PM 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 13. It will be updated as more rankings are posted.

	This Week	Last Week	Commentary
ESPN	13	17	Three wins in their final four games could get the Titans into the playoffs. But the hot Saints will be a tough matchup Sunday in Nashville. (Kuharsky)
NFL.com	16	17	I think Chris Johnson is back. Maybe. CJ2K looked explosive and not like a rich running back bracing for contact this past weekend. If there is one potential playoff team who no one is talking about, it's Tennessee. What a job by Mike Munchak, taking over for the NFL's longest tenured coach in Jeff Fisher, with a new quarterback, and with his best player in a difficult holdout situation. Then he lost his best option in the passing game in wideout Kenny Britt. Not to mention, the lockout was hardest on new head coaches, who had no OTAs to implement their plan. Kudos to Munchak.
National Football Post	15	17	As long as Chris Johnson continues to post big numbers, the Titans will remain in the playoff discussion.
Sporting News	16	17	Breakout star: CB Jason McCourty: Following what his twin brother Devin did in New England in 2010, Jason has been an exceptional all-around starting cornerback opposite Cortland Finnegan.
CBS Sports	14	17	The Titans are alive and well in the wild-card chase. They finally got Chris Johnson going the past couple of games and it has made a big difference in the offense.
SB Nation	9	17	No one seems to be talking about the Titans but for two straight weeks Chris Johnson has looked like the old Chris Johnson. If that's the case the rest of the year, this is a serious playoff contender.
Fox Sports	13	17	CJ2K is finally playing up to his contract, and it may be just in time. With two of their last four games being against the Colts and Jaguars, they will at least finish the season with nine wins. It will probably take 10 to get in the playoffs though, and that means they will need to steal a win against either the Saints or the Texans. It will be interesting to see if the Texans go all in during their Week 17 matchup.
ProFootballWeekly	12	17	Rookies McCarthy, Klug helping "D" as Titans stay in playoff hunt.
ProFootballTalk	13	16	Matt Hasselbeck is to the rest of the current quarterbacks in the AFC South what the Packers are to the rest of the league.

On a side note…if we make the playoffs does anyone think Munch should be in the running for Coach of the Year?? I think with the lockout, the hold out, the injuries, and a whole new coaching staff, if he turns us into a winning season and a playoff berth he should at least me mentioned.

I think Harbaugh has it in the bag already

TOUCHDOWN...GUESS WHO...KENNY BRITT!

yeah ... I think it's Harbaugh's

and I think Matt Stafford has “comeback player of the year” in the bag

I agree with Harbaugh....

Maybe it is just the homer in me that says he should be mentioned.

I understand Harbaugh...

but with all things considered, Thor has done a hell of a job going from O-line coach to HC.
I really like what NFL.com said about him.
