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 6 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2025 season. See here for last week's results. (Yes, these are actually for last week's games. I'm very late getting these updated.)
6 of the 15 games ended with the lower ranked team winning. The largest jump was the Patriots who jumped 8 spots after they beat the Saints. The Panthers are the lowest ranked team to win their game.
The Seahawks beat the Jaguars to take the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Texans will have a chance to take the belt in week 7.
The Jets lost to the Broncos to remain last. They will have a chance to move out of last when they play the Panthers (spoiler, they don't).
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.
