It would actually be less problems. Seeding the regional champions would certainly not fix the problem but it would absolutely help. Last year's 189 would have put Baker at #1 and Long at #2. Your scenario of two ranked wrestlers in the same region could still happen but it would present less problems than the current random system. What a great LIFE lesson it would be to reward the four champions with a seeded bracket instead of a wrestler getting lucky with his random draw. That's no lesson at all.
