update: 28 September 2012.
FIFA will publish the ranking on 3 October.
FIFA have removed the deadline information - it used to be on Thursday before the release of the rankings. I will still use it for this month, then I will most likely move the deadline for the calculation to Saturday.
15 matches left - only one of them involving team in the top 100: Brazil vs. Argentina on 19 September. Couple of friendlies and continental qualifiers. 15 teams involved in these matches and this an overview of minimum/maximum points and highest/lowest ranking possible for them:

Argentina 1208 1259 4 3

In the table below, the values displayed for these teams are the minimum possible, so their totals can't drop, even if they lose.
Colombia return to the top 10 after 10 years - they were 9th in July 2002 and they will be 9th in October.
Central African Republic break into the top 50 for the first time ever. They were 202nd in August 2010.

Best movers:
