The FIFA rankings are objectively garbage but if used loosely they're an okay indicator at times. Just dont swear by them and use some judgement.

The Swiss at 6 isnt outrageous, they maybe shouldnt be in the top 10 but they had a solid qualifying campaign and I dont think any team really wants to go up against them.
