After reading through this topic, I didn't see anyone come up with this situation. What if the best 2 wrestlers in the state by criteria come from the same regional where they finished 1st and 2nd? If you only seed the regional winners, random draw on the remaining regional placers could put the best 2 wrestlers together even before the semifinals. I don't think there is any easy answer to seeding state brackets. Random draw takes all the politics out of where wrestlers are placed. No matter what, to be a state champion you still need to win all the matches no matter where you are on the bracket.
