NFL Title Rankings Week 6, 2023 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 6 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2023 season. See here for last week’s rankings.

There were a few big jumps in the rankings. But the rest of the rankings are mostly the same. The Bengals beat the Seahawks to take the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Bengals have a bye week for week 7 and cannot lose the NFL Title Belt and first.

The Giants lost to the Bills, so they will remain last rank. The Giants will now have a chance to move up next week when they play the Commanders.

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.
