I wonder if the two would map out parallel or not, and if one would provide more insight to teams that played over their head.

Having a positive win window, means it's possible for you to win. It's being closer to 1.000 that makes it more likely that you'll be a winning team.
The VOCL deal is, having a VOCL over the modifer (a positive VOCL, then) essentially determine that your team is effectively "championship caliber" but it's not hard to go from negative VOCL to move up, based on a few moves. It's really just intended to help you recognize the difference between dumb luck and actual team talent.
That said, let's look at the teams that had the highest VOCLs and the teams who played above their heads vs. those that didn't.
