NFL Title Rankings Week 14, 2025 Season
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 14 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2025 season. See here for last week's results.
8 of the 14 games (MORE THAN HALF!) ended with the lower ranked team winning. The largest jump was the Steelers who jumped 20 spots after they beat the Ravens. The Titans are the lowest ranked team to win their game. There was so much movement, 3 of the jumps didn't actually increase their rankings since other teams jumped them.
The Panthers kept first and the NFL Title Belt while on bye.
The Titans beat the Browns to move out of last. The Raiders are now last place. They will have a chance to move out of last in week 15 when they play the Eagles.

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.
Seeing the chiefs and cowboys both being mediocre this year brings so much joy to my heart!
Rooting for the Saints just for the absurdity of them having the title despite being, well, the Saints
IT HAPPENED!
Hell yeah I'm totally claiming credit for manifesting this
