Il Gracenote World Football Ranking è una metodologia proprietaria creata nel 2002 e basata sul sistema Elo utilizzato per la classifica dei giocatori di scacchi. Ogni volta che due squadre si affrontano, una conquista punti dall'altra a seconda del risultato, del margine di vittoria, di chi è in casa e della forza relativa delle due squadre che giocano, nonché dell'importanza della competizione.
