Given random assignment of teams to 8 divisions, what is the probability that any division's [mean OPR, 90th %ile OPR, 75th %ile OPR, 50th %ile OPR, etc.] is as strong as Newton's?

I ran 1000 simulations (creating 8000 divisions) of the assignment process (with rookies dealt out randomly and evenly at first, then vets), and for each real CMP division counted the percentages of the simulated divisions that had higher stats than the real division.

Division,  Mean, 50th, 75th, 90th
Newton	2.11%	9.93%	0.26%	1.13%
Hopper	25.31%	75.99%	63.89%	29.55%
Carver	33.69%	14.65%	49.40%	43.60%
Carson	38.50%	40.76%	7.49%	41.76%
Arch.	62.38%	60.72%	34.96%	89.81%
Curie	79.78%	53.46%	77.20%	98.06%
Tesla	86.04%	89.74%	68.84%	81.65%
Galileo	90.23%	76.91%	76.33%	82.76%
