Ecuador has been pretty good lately 2nd in the CONMEBOL qualifying and Colombia is in 3rd...Portugal #5 has me beat... they might miss out on the playoff spot to Israel for 2014. We could be in the top 10 or 11th right now if we won our 3 wcq
Colombia and Ecuador are bossing in CONMBEL. Greece is shit though. Russia is good and Croatia is meh
Lulz 20th, I expected Mexico in the mid 30s at best. I'll take it but this just means moar Chepo for the foreseeable future.
We should be in the high 30s... HA! Argentina is below Colombia not that these rankings mean anything,still funny though.
Updated 9/11 (except FIFA's): FIFA: 17th (most likely, we go up by 1, next ranking update) ELO: T-11th (w/ England) SPI: 14th Not too bad, I think.

It's a four(?) year average and the UEFA coefficient is stronger than CONCACAF's. Spain bombing out of the WC doesn't mean much in regards to the rankings. The WC rankings reflect what happened during that particular tournament, not over the entire cycle.
Since the UEFA coefficient is stronger they get more points by playing other European nations compared to Mexico playing anyone else. Even if we win the next two games we probably won't even get that many points towards next month's ranking.
