Yes, this is coming out a week late. The Divisional rankings will be out soon.
This is Wild Card weekend of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2025 season. See here for last week's results.
3 of the 6 games ended with the lower ranked team winning. The largest jump was the 49ers who jumped 7 spots after they beat the Eagles. The Bears are the lowest ranked team to win their game.
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. This means that the Super Bowl winner will end the post-season 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.
