Obviously the OPR will pick 1114 and some other powerful hurdler as the winners, but I am curious how closely it may actually predict things.

To go even further:
Use the match scheduling algorithm to generate a schedule, then simulate each division's games, assuming that the alliance with the higher OPR always wins. Now you've got more accurate simulated rankings, because you may even have a weaker team get into the top 8 due to luck with the scheduling. However, you'd have issues because in the real world there'll be draft rejections which you can't plan for.
Then do the division playoffs and Einstein simulation. I may do that after my first exam when I have a long time off.
