I looked at the OPR for the 1st, 2nd, and 24th teams from each division. This would be the perfect alliance if opr perfectly reflected teams scoring ability, there was no advantage to playing defense, teams seeded perfectly, and teams did alliance selections perfectly. I also did the #8 alliance (under the same conditions), to show the depth of the divisions.
