Ya, I also found that strange.
If we beat USA and Egypt next year, we should climb the ranking steadily considering their current rankings.

Glad to see SA moving up, a win against the USA will help, but those 2 Egypt matches next year will be crucial if we are to get back into the top 30.
They still have tons of points from their last 2 AFCON wins.

don't your points diminish over a period of time? weighing less on the scale and therefore count for less?

Yes, but an AFCON finals match is worth 3 times a friendly match, with the same teams. Thus they have lots of points from the 2010 AFCON, and quite a few from the 2008 AFCON. I think that AFCON qualifiers count for 2 times a friendly match.
we have dropped down 1 spot in the latest released rankings.
we are now ranked 51st.

They play higher ranked opponents more often. They also have the advantage of the confed multiplier, Euro teams get 'full points' for matches, African teams with the same ranking would get less for the same result.

Yip, I did post it in the Bafana thread, but it's still good to see them moving up. A win against Egypt next week will really help.
After the win against Egypt, we should move higher up the rankings. Can't wait for new rankings to be released.
