The UEFA format and playoffs are stupid in generals

In South America 6/10 teams get in, Brazil is going to lose 5 games and still get direct qualifoctaoon.

8 groups of 6 teams should be the UEFA qualification, and top 2 teams in each grouo get in.

The problem with only 1 team getting in from each group is it means they the draw is weighted way too important. Look how easy group C and Group H are comparatively

Having different group sizes and then forcing so many playoff spots is silly.
