Why reward the losers with an easy matchup, let's reward the better teams.
It would defeat the purpose of even allowing losers to advance. A random drawing is better.

Okay, so this is the set up.
Random drawing for first round matchups.
We get down to 6 teams after the first round. The two losers with the most votes get to advance and we are up to 8 teams.
We then have another random drawing and play the second round. We are then down to 4 teams. Then after the third round we will be down to 2 teams and the championship game.
Sound good to everyone?
Losers could play each other so the better team could advance. Or we could have 2 groups from which 4 teams advance and go on to quarter finals.
This would give losers too much of an advantage, as it would guarantee one loser to advance to the semi.

Well, I don't really like the idea of losers advancing but 2 loser teams could advance if they don't play each other, too. At least this way you get the better one.
So in essence something like this:
1 v. 2
7 v. 8
11 v. 12
3 v. 4
5 v. 6
9 v. 10
We get down to three teams, but two out of the three losers from each region (most votes) play each other for the fourth spot.
