FIFA Ranking: October 2008 preview (I)

Point totals for teams from the top 20 of the October 2007 ranking should be 100% correct. For the others, there's the issue of historical rankings published before July 2006.

However, since many matches were played on October 8th in previous years, do take it with a fair bit of salt.
