Suggested Nationals Seeding

Two posts in one day! Neither about The Abomination!
These seedings reflect my power rankings merged with Regionals finishing order.
Note: I personally am against the thinking of the RSD posters who base most of their seeding on head to head matchups, like in the Mixed Seeding post where there are many reasonable candidates for the #1 seed but somehow people decided Hooray was the top choice pretty much solely because they beat Mischief once. If you think Mischief is so great, maybe you should put them first.

1. Sockeye
2. Ironside
3. Johnny Bravo
4. Revolver
5. Jam
6. Ring
7. GOAT
8. Sub Zero
9. Truck Stop
10. Doublewide
11. Chain
12. Condors
13. Bodhi
14. Machine
15. PoNY
16. El Diablo

This seeding obviously leaves Chain underseeded, but they deserve the low seed for not taking care of business at Regionals. Also, I think Bravo "deserves" the 2 seed based on their performance this season, but I am not restricting my seedings by that measure.

This seeding would give pools of:
A: Sockeye, Sub Zero, Truck Stop, El Diablo
B: Ironside, GOAT, Doublewide, PoNY
C: Bravo, Ring, Chain, Machine
D: Jam, Revolver, Condors, Bodhi

C would be the clear pool of death, but I think the other pools are all pretty fairly stratified.
