I know your user title has said something to this effect for a while, but I really have to disagree. OPR is never perfect, but I found that it worked pretty well this year. I used it to predict the Saturday seedlings of SVR Friday night with a fair degree of accuracy. It was a pretty good measurement of how much we contributed to our alliances, and we found that it represented other teams' performance fairly well too.
Of course, OPR can't predict exactly how many points you (or anyone else) will score in a given match. But in my experience, it does provide a fairly accurate way of predicting which alliance will win a given match.
Why did champs seeding not correlate well to OPR? Because 8 matches is way too small of a statistical sample.
