Team 1884 has an OPR of 1.18. On their simulated performance, based solely on OPR and the matches they will play in, they will win 5 matches. Team 447 has an OPR of 74.14. On their simulated performance, they will win only 4 matches.

The average OPR of teams that win 5 matches is lower than that of teams that win 4.

There is little to no correlation between a teams ability to score and their ability to seed in the top 8.

1/2 of the top 8 scoring robots will not end up in the top 8. The 29th best robot places 5th, the third best robot places 10th, and the 5th best places 17th.
I remember a match last year where it was predicted we were going to get annihilated and one of our partners didn't bother to show up to boot and we won bigtime (partially due to one of the robots falling over). The predictions are just speculation. Not fact.
