......and sadly failed to qualify for two WCs. It's a travesty that they aren't seeded in pot one as defending champions tbh but that idea seems to sailed seeding wise.

As a Scotland fan I approve, unless we get drawn with Italy of course......The draw is wide open thanks to UEFA’s decision to allocate pots in accordance with results in qualifying groups.
Therefore, the final position and points teams achieved in their Euro 2024 qualifiers was taken into consideration ahead of a country’s FIFA ranking.
The new way of ranking can through up some anomalies, but overall I quite like it, especially as it removes the impact of friendly results, which teams often 'made the most of' in the past....

The problem with that is that the qualifying groups themselves weren't balanced. You had the 2 finalists of the last tournament, a quarter finalist and another qualifier in the same group.
I would be quite happy to do away with seeding though and have a random draw for the final tournament.
