FIFA Ranking: December 2012 probable ranking (II)
Next update: 23 November 2012.
FIFA will publish the ranking on 19 December.
Probable results computed using the Elo Ratings. See the list of results used for this ranking.
No time for the preview today. Of the top 50 only Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Jamaica and Haiti still have matches to play.
Argentina can't move from 3rd, no matter what they do against Brazil, who could be ranked between 16th and 18th depending on the result of the Superclásico de las Américas. A new worst ever ranking for Brazil.

FIFA Ranking: December 2012 probable ranking
Next update: 16 November 2012.
FIFA will publish the ranking on 19 December.
Probable results computed using the Elo Ratings. See the list of results used for this ranking.
The 2012 CECAFA Cup draw is scheduled for 12 November, thus I couldn't generate the probable results for this competition.
Based on these probable results, Vietnam, Sao Tome e Principe, Cuba, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica would climb more than 15 spots, while Belize, Bermuda, Saudi Arabia, Chad, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Wales, Korea DPR, Curacao and Dominican Republic would drop more than 15 places.
