If you understand the ranking system then it's actually quite a logical thing - the 2006 world cup is now wiped from the calculations and since there were a number of teams above England in the rankings who did a lot worse this time than then, they were bound to drop (witness Portugal and Italy falling from above to below, and France who were 1 place behind us dropping something like 13 spots!

Friendlies count for the rankings too though, and England won all of theirs against some reasonably highly-ranked teams.
