I was working on making this more of a real media piece but lost most of it, and I ain't doing all that again. I did essentially a more complicated version of this same thing last season once awards voting results were made public. It's just comparing how teams voted to actual actual results to get a measure of how biased they were in . So basically if Player X finished 3rd in their positional award, but their GMs voted them as 1st, the GMs get a -2. If they instead left them out of their top three, they get +1. etc. Oh and this isn't meant to start a witch hunt or anything, I just find it interesting. It seemed like a lot less outcry over bias than there was last season anyway. Here are the results, based on average bias per vote.

Most to Least Average Bias
1. OCO -1.375
2. PHI -1.000
3. CHI -1.000
4. HON -0.800
5. SAR -0.750
6. SDCore -0.750 (wasn't actually on a team at voting time, but was most recently on AUS, so they were treated as his bias team)
7. YKW -0.666
8. NOLA -0.666
9. AZ -0.600
10. SJS -0.400
11. Colabear -0.333
12. AUS -0.333
13. COL -0.250
14. Infinitempg -0.125
15. Bex +0.167
16. Exilizer +0.286
17. BAL +0.429

Worth noting that even though I have seen people call into question their participation in voting, HO votes generally more fairly than GMs.
