Expanding on yesterday's post, I have compiled an all time ranking of all 35 CONCACAF teams from the first FIFA ranking in August 1993 until today. Here's how I calculated it: For each month, the team that was first in the region received 35 points. Second is worth 34 points, third is worth 33, and so on. That goes even for when the region had fewer than 35 teams. The following is the combined points from all 158 months. Like I mentioned yesterday, 12 times the rankings skipped a month, so I have counted the previous month's rankings twice to make up for it.
