I think what the point that you're missing is that myself and probably the other posters don't necessarily feel the US deserves a seed or the #8 rank, but that Mexico should not be over the US. This is what I have an issue with.

If the seedings were based just on FIFA rankings then there would be questions raised about how some of these teams got so high.
FIFA try and separate teams from same Confederations and will definitely no have teams who played against each other in the qualifying stage for the WC.
I don't know how you can complain about Mexico being seeded.
Although the USA won the Hexagonal qualifiers, USA was only on top by the lone goal that they scored in the Aztec Stadium when they lost 2-1 on March 27, 2005.
Winning the qualifying group is only one factor in the seeding process.
Lets see who USA draws and who Mexico draws as a seed.
