How are the top 8 seeds determined?

I'm confused how a Swiss team in the easiest group in Europe can have a top 8 seed locked up even being ranked out of the top 10 in the world rankings.
Due to losses elsewhere they moved into top 7 + Brasil.
Also, FIFA rankings are shite and should be done away with.

The Dutch haven't lost a qualifier and are ranked 9th. They weren't in that list that Wahl tweeted about.
ETA: Come to think of it, the USA hasn't lost since those rankings came out.

Really I remember the USA reached an ridiculous #4 in the rankings in 2006 and was still boned out of the top seed pot and put in the group of Death.
