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 10 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2024 season. See here for last week’s rankings.

7 of the 14 games were upsets.

The Chiefs beat the Broncos to keep the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Chiefs will hold the NFL Title Belt until their first loss of the 2024 season. The Bills will have a chance to take the title belt this Sunday.

The Patriots beat the Bears to move out of last. With the Bucs' loss to the 49ers, the Bucs are now last. The Bucs will have a chance to move out from last in week 12 when they play the Giants.

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.
