I don't think OPR is the reason some are perceiving Curie as weaker. It shouldn't be considering this data from Travis's spreadsheet
Code:
Division	Average OPR	Standard Deviation	# of Teams
Galileo		19.86		16.35		87	
Curie		19.85		16.52		88	
Newton		19.21		16.98		87	
Archimedes	16.51		16.45		87
All the divisions are pretty similar in Avg OPR except for Archi. I would say it has more to do with teams in the Top25 Week 6 Public Poll:

Galileo 5 teams
Curie 5 teams
Newton 9 teams
Archimedes 6 teams

Galileo also has only 5 teams too, but 4 of them are in the Top 10. The Top25 is a lot of fun, but champions are decided on the field not in public opinion.
