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 4 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2025 season. See here for last week’s results.
6 of the 16 games ended with the lower ranked team winning. The largest jump was the Giants who jumped 25 spots. The Dolphins are the lowest ranked team to win their game.
The Jaguars beat the 49ers to take the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Chiefs will have a chance to take the belt in week 4.
The Titans lost to the Texans to remain last. They will have a chance to move out of last when they play the Cardinals.

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.
i think the saints are still ranked too high
Well, if they manage to beat the Giants, they’re going to shoot up to 6th.
