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 0 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2025 season. See here for the pre-Super Bowl results.

The Super Bowl winner was already ranked higher, so there was no change in the rankings. The Eagles end the post-season ranked number 2.

The Seahawks kept the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. Because the Seahawks are not in the playoffs, they remained first for the offseason.

The Falcons remained last for the offseason.

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.
