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 1 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2023 season. See here for last week’s rankings.

There were a lot of shakeups including a new first ranked team. The Lions beat the Chiefs to take the NFL Title Belt and first ranking to start the season. Next, the Lions will have to defend against the Seahawks.

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.
