FIFA only started ranking teams in 1992. Since then, the rankings of each winner immediately prior to the World Cup have been:

1994 Brazil: 3rd
1998 France: 18th
2002 Brazil: 2nd
2006 Italy: 13th
2010 Spain: 2nd
2014 Germany: 2nd
2018 France: 7th

So it looks like the answer to your question is France in 1998. You can see archived FIFA rankings at fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men, which is where I got the above rankings from.
