instead of just adding up all the ranks and dividing by the number of years, would it not be more 'accurate' if the lowest and highest rankings where thrown out? That way you could have a more accurate average?
That's the great thing about metrics, there are alot of ways to evaluate the data.
But, now that you mention it, I'm going to go back and see what the results would be under those conditions.
