You can go into your AA.com preferences and select whether you prefer an aisle or a window on your upgrades. That might help you a bit.
I don't know the algorithm for giving away upgrade seats, but I assume that those are the just the unbooked seats.

Does anyone know why upgrades seem to clear first for the last row seats, followed by the bulkhead and then from the back to the front of the cabin? Is it simply a matter of these being viewed as the worst seats in First...and getting what you pay for...?
