    Agree. This is real nonsense. Czech Republic 56 and Sweden 76... Both would destroy Philippines by 50 points
    i have to disagree

    if you look at it the way you've said it then the whole scenario will become nonsense. Both European teams mentioned above can win even on China which they are ranked in the top 10 (if not mistaken).
    However it's not how things work in the ranking system.
    Every team takes a spot regarding on his level in his continent he's playing.
    Sweden and Czech Republic they weren't present this year in your country to play the Eurobasket 2011 Finals. At the other end, China could regain the AC title tomorrow.

      Well, I don't think they would destroy the Philippines by 50 points or even half that margin. Nevertheless, the level of performance in this years Asian Champs was scaringly low compared to the earlier Euro Champs.

      The FIBA ranking doesn't really reflect the real strenght and the position of a nation anyway. There are a fiew teams like Quatar or Kazakhstan ranked ahead of the Philippines, that the Philippines could surely handle. On the other hand, there are also teams behind in the ranking (Czech Rep., England, Sweden) or even unranked ones like Georgia, Finland, Belgium etc., that the Philippines would have problems with.
      Who really cares about that ranking anyway??
