I hear what you're saying, but the rankings are just weird. Brazil was #1 for damn near a decade. Almost ever since the ranking list even came out. I always believe that regardless of the ranking system, the team that wins the World Cup should be #1 until the next one. Thats just the way I see it.
And, if its a match played in a conference competition, then it shouldnt matter who was being played, points should still be taken into consideration. Not that Guadalupe would receive many points for beating Canada, but its a conference competition, how can it not count? Or, rather, how can an unrecognized country compete?
Thats like letting a random european hockey team play in one of the conference finals during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Weird.
