But using the current rankings and assuming Malawi win all their games (CAN and WC included), they would go top of the rankings in July 2010. :) It’s pretty hard to predict, because I don’t have all the draws (i.e. I don’t know the groups for CAN 2010 and WC 2010).

It seems you have already formulated a table on how to calculate future rankings. If Malawi were to win all the next games and win the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup where do you think they would rank? Amongst the top 10? I don't think so, not even top 20. I think FIFA will revise their formula again after a team ranked say 103rd wins the WC. Edgar, thanks for your input.

FIFA already uses the ELO method for their women ranking: http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/procedure/women.html. The Colley Matrix method doesn't take into account how long ago a certain game was played. The Bradley-Terry method also takes into account strength of schedule. http://www.collegehockeynews.com/info/?d=krach Voros McCracken used to publish a ranking based on this system but taking into account how long ago games were played, but he stopped updating it in May 2007: http://numeridicalcio.wordpress.com/2007/05/07/international-team-ratings-may-2007/ Playing a friendly could also damage a team's ranking. Malawi should remain 103rd in the next rankings: http://www.football-rankings.info/2008/11/fifa-ranking-december-2008-preview-i.html Hi sscouser!
