Does anyone know how CFU have seeded teams for previous Caribbean Championship / Caribbean Nations Cup draws? I could find no info and came up with a Caribbean NT coefficient.

This current FIFA ranking do not reflect Jamaica . The reggaeboyz have not lost a Home Game versus
any opponent in almost 2 years . And am hearing from good sources that our ranking of 65 may go down
to 50+ in January . The Finals of Caribbean Nation Cup was not calculated .

Interesting. Could you please tell me your sources?

As far as I can tell, in the January FIFA Ranking, Jamaica will go down 2 places to 67th, while Trinidad and Tobago will climb 5 places to 72nd.

Dont worry about rankings  ???
I am sure if Mr Einstein was still alive he cannot figure out how FIFA does it either  :rotfl:

Actually the ranking system is explained on fifa.com. There a short explanation on this page and a more detailed one in this pdf file.

These Rankings continue to be a source of debate. Personally, I think that it is good to have a world football ranking system, but I challenge the way FIFA does theirs. They use a number of variables such as strength of the region - CONCACAF vs UEFA, match importance - friendy vs WCQ, socreline etc.
The type of match has a large wieght on the points.
I think that they should not count friendlies into the system.
A lot of teams send B squads or very under strength teams
If anything, more global competitions would give a better assesment of rank from region to region. like expanding the Confederations cup to include more teams.

Scoreline doesn't count.

You're 77th (for now) in the December 2008 FIFA ranking. This preview includes matches played up to and including November 19.

Am asking a Question to forum ,  their are possibilties of  Group 1 & 2 be decided on
Goal Difference . Should Trinidad & Tobago and Guatemala end up with the same Goal Difference , how will
this effect  teams , Should FIFA , have a third game at a Neutral Ground or FIFA Rankings which is puzzling
at times decide a outcome ? . This is a topic for debate .

It's goal difference, then head-to-head results, then drawing of lots or if FIFA approves - a play-off.

See Wikipedia.
