    Call it a pet peeve: I can't stand when I see a power ranking type list that has Team A, which just lost to Team B, ranked one just slot ahead of Team B. If they are in the same neighborhood, they need to flip.
    In a big poll like ESPN.com's NFL's Power Rankings, though, there are a lot of ballots and invariably there will be some oddities like that. Even if everyone adjusted the Jaguars and Titans based on Sunday's result, it wasn't enough to prevent the sort of thing that makes me cringe.
    And so the Jaguars moved down five spots to 10th and the Titans moved up three spots to 11th.
    To abide by my own rule, I had Tennessee 10th on my ballot and Jacksonville 11th even if some might consider those moves a little dramatic.
    My AFC South entries:
    Team/This week/Last week
    Colts/5/3
    Titans/10/12
    Jaguars/11/8
    Texans/22/21
    For a very detailed breakdown of all the ballots, check out Mike Sando's entry.

    My bad. I read it backwards. Still, we should be ahead of the Jags.

    Everything will even out in a couple weeks. I mean christ, do you really think the falcons will be a contender after the first week? Gotta give it time for the league to play out.

    You know why the power rankings change every week? Because they never get it right...
