Should the Classic League have Alphabetical or Random Sorting?

GeneralDirection: We delayed the start so that we have time for proper seeding. We realized that there simply was not enough time in a single day to do all of the cross-referencing that we need to do.
The seeding will not be random, it will follow the same standards as many professional sports leagues around the world. As with the World Cup, we are going to take into account past results with this seeding.
While teams may be larger than those from past tournaments, it's pretty easy to spot the teams that would be ranked 1, 2, etc. if we had a ranking system for tournaments -- just by looking at the results of tournaments from October until now.
