People do that with OPR
I am aware that there are people who praise OPR much more than is justified. However, for every time I hear "OPR is the best thing ever," I hear twice as many things like "we were ranked 12th and didn't make elims, every other team must have horrible scouts because we clearly deserved that spot" or "I can't believe they picked the 40th ranked team as the second overall pick, I hope they know what they are doing." This tells me that far too many people don't realize just how badly the rankings generally reflect ability.
