How do the pots get decided again? Aren't pots 2-4 based on points? If so shouldn't Sevillia be in pot 2 since they won the Europa League like 6 times the last 5 seasons?

Because CL gives bonus points for each round so winning EL is not that much compared to deep CL runs.

But here ManU is behind Sevilla, so shouldn't they switch places?

First the seeding with the points:
+ Show Spoiler +

To your question, the ranking uses last years points (uk.uefa.com), so the final standings of the 2014/15 season.
Oh and before you ask why, the slot allocation for this year uses the 2013/14 final. Uefa logic.

Get your facts straight dude : ) Dortmund could've taken pos 1 early in the season when everything was really close. Only after the first few games we couldn't win anymore. In addition I don't think the situations are comparable. Everybody had awful form in Dortmund after the World Cup whereas Gladbach might not have the best form but the losses of Kramer and Kruse seem much worse than the management might have expected. Stindl as a Kramer replacement has like no strengths in common with him because he's much more offensive and Kruse had more of an impact compared to Drmic which forces Hazard into the 9-spot. We'll have to see how tactical mastermind Favre is going to adjust.
But, I guess we can agree on that, I too expect Gladbach to play somewhat like Dortmund during their first years back in CL. Get underestimated, counter and take a point or two.

I'm hoping for a group of PSG, ManUtd, Sevilla and Wolfsburg.
