Does anyone know how the knockout stages are paired up? Is it winner of A vs runner-up in H, and so on?

The format will be as follows (December 16):

The eight group-winners and eight runners-up of the group stage qualify for the second round. The clubs that finish this stage in third position in their group move into the third round of the current Europa League. The clubs that finish this stage in fourth position in their group are eliminated.

The draw for the 2nd round takes the following rules into account:

a) Clubs from the same association must not be drawn against each other,
b) The winners and runners-up of the same group must not be drawn against each other,
c) The group winners must not be drawn against each other,
d) The runners up must not be drawn against each other,
e) The runners up must play the first leg at home.

The group winners are seeded above the runners-up.

See 2008 CL 2nd round draw procedure for more details.

The "procedure" is quite straight forward. :D
