Australia (37) vs Uruguay (16)
Panama (63) vs New Zealand (111)
There's a big difference between some of those numbers, will IC qualifiers just be bottom seeded automatically? I suppose it only really matters for someone like Uruguay, who would be in with a small shout of being a second seed in normal circumstances, or if not that they would be third, the rest would be 4th seeds anyway. The highest ranked side who could still end up in this route is 12th placed Mexico.
