Alright, Andrew and Ian, I think your statistics skills may be needed here. There might not be enough data going back far enough to do this but...
A 4* year moving average of OPR ranking, CCWM ranking, match win percentage and/or event win percentage (including divisions and Einstein) would be an interesting way too look at trends in team competitiveness. This evens out teams that had one really amazing year, and also top teams that had an "off" year (eg, 1114 only won one regional

in 2009).
I suspect the teams that we'll see at the top are the ones already being talked about, but there might be a few surprises. I think it's at least a more statistically significant calculation of the "best" teams (from a competition standpoint) over time.
*I pick 4 because it's the maximum turnover time for a high school student on a team. Other time blocks could be used
