(There are far too many people concerned with OPR and spending far too much time analyzing, adjusting OPR to show various things and make predictions. OPR is good for a very quick reference when you have no other information about a team. If you are spending more than 15 minutes on OPR, I suggest you actually watch matches of teams. You will get a far better picture of who is good and who isn't. Better yet, you will find what their strengths/weakness are.)

I do not think that a team's OPR is a good indicator of their strength. However, in these predicted matches, it is a perfect representation of their strength because the score for each match is calculated based on the the OPR, and only the OPR of each robot.
My point has nothing to do with individual teams, but it has to do with the schedule and number of matches. If you go out, and you score exactly 30 points per match, you may win one match, or you may win seven, depending on your schedule. That's what the data shows. I'm trying to prove how much of a difference your schedule can make. In these predictions, OPR is a perfect representation of a robots performance. In the real world, that is not true. I would generally expect that robots that score more points will rank higher, but it is not true.
