How many Nations League teams to show in table
editAfter the groups were drawn, I don't see how Greece or Austria ever could have advanced via their Nations League ranking. I think the table should end with 
Bosnia and Herzegovina. I double checked the math for groups that have more than 2 teams in the table: H has 3 clubs (that would require 1 spot), I has 4 clubs (2 slots), and J has 3 clubs (1 slot). Groups D and E only have 1 team each, so we can't just do a total count. OblongBubbles (talk) 15:18, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- I also double checked the math and agree: GRE and AUT could never have earned a spot through the rankings. Wburrow (talk) 15:30, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- The remaining teams should all be removed. Only the group winners are relevant. Tvx1 20:43, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- When Group I has 4 teams besides the third team from Group H is at 16th, the table should be limited until Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina has no mathematical possibility to get a ticket via Nations League. The calculation is too complicated which make too much bias and that's why I request to remove all remaining teams, unless a reliable source could show which team is mathematically possible to get this ticket. Besides, it has been limited to the League C group winners already. KyleRGiggs (talk) 03:39, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- @KyleRGiggs: Your recent edit is factually incorrect, and we don't need to source this basic calculation per WP:CALC. Of the first 26 teams in the Nations League list, the groups with more than 2 of these teams were H (3 teams), I (4 teams) and J (3 teams). Therefore it would be possible for one team from H, one team from J and two from I (including BiH) to take playoff spots in the best possible scenario. S.A. Julio (talk) 02:43, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
WP:CRYSTAL
edit@Matilda Maniac: You can't call BBC, RTÉ, Sky Sports, USA Today, etc. as WP:CRYSTAL. These are all reliable sources, none of this qualifies as unverifiable speculation, rumors, or presumptions
. The ranking methodology is quite straightforward, now that the group stage has ended there is no reason to ignore all the sources that give the seeding. I'm not OWNing the article by trying to keep it accurate, clearly readers are interested in the seeding immediately and there are sources to verify the pots. S.A.
