Thing is a good run at a WC doesn't make somebody better than a team who lost to a good team in a previous round. For example Brazil are better than Uruguay, but met a good team sooner.

That said rankings are bull shit anyway.

and the only reason we have moved up is because Italy and France were even worse than us at the world cup

Hold on a minute. Rugby isn't football so how have Scotland got in to the FIFA rankings?
