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 Divisional weekend of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2025 season. See here for last week’s results.
There was only one game this weekend and the higher ranked team won.
The Falcons currently hold first and the NFL Title Belt. Because the Falcons did not make the playoffs, first place and the NFL Title Belt will remain with the Falcons. The Seahawks are ranked 3 and are the highest ranked team to make the playoffs. Because they won the Super Bowl, they will stay ranked 3.
The Colts lost to the Texans to fall to last. Because the Colts did not make the playoffs, last place will remain with the Colts.

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.
