This is an objective, unbiased ranking in the same vein as the NFL Title Belt. As such, the number 1 ranked team will always be the same as the current NFL Title Belt holder.
This is Week 11 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2025 season. See here for last week’s results.
Next week’s rankings will be late.
6 of the 15 games ended with the lower ranked team winning. The largest jump was the Packers who jumped 15 spots after they beat the Giants. The Panthers are the lowest ranked team to win their game.
The Rams beat the Seahawks to keep the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Bucs will have a chance to take the belt when they play the Rams in week 12.
The Titans lost to the Texans to remain last. They will have a chance to move out of last again in week 12 when they play the Seahawks.

This ranking assumes that there are never any fluke games and all teams are appropriately ranked. If you beat a team that is higher ranked than you, you move ahead of them and they move down one spot. However, other teams can jump in front of teams that are higher ranked than you, moving you further down the rankings.
Bonus rankings! This one is more straightforward. Teams get points for wins. They get more points for beating good teams and fewer points for beating bad teams. (+32 for beating the best team, +1 for beating the worst). Teams lose points for losses. They lose more points for losing to bad teams and fewer points for losing to good teams. (-32 for losing to the worst team, -1 for losing to the best). The point total was reset with the first game of the season.
