Others argue 'widening the franchise' is king....
I agree with you....manipulating qualification arrangments basd on geography would be like letting 5 teams from Cumbria enter round 3 of the FA cup...and only 2 from London.
Not really due to seedings:
Pot 1: Germany, Belgium and Isle of Wight (2 to qualify)
etc.
But it will prolong the early tooth pulling segment, as per Champions League...
