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.
Sorry about the late post. This is actually last week's ranking results. I'll have this week's rankings sometime after tomorrow's game.
This is Week 12 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2024 season. See here for last week’s rankings.
The Bills were on bye and kept the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The 49ers will have a chance to take the title belt in week 13.
The Bucs beat the Giants to move out of last. The Raiders are now last. The Raiders will have a chance to move out from last in week 13 when they play the Chiefs.
Let me know if you’d like to see more of this, if you’re curious about how I came up with these rankings, or if you noticed any mistakes.

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.

Isn't that based on last weekend's games?
Yep, I wrote that in the description. I didn't get around to the rankings after last week's games so I'm doing it now. I'm blaming it on the holiday week.
I'll have this week's sometime after tomorrow's game.
