Here's my attempt at fixing the student rank

You can sort the table by the total column descending to get the rank.
If you sort the resulting table like this:
1) Position cursor on any total value
2) M-x org-table-sort-lines
3) N (for reverse numeric sort)
Then update the Rank column with C-u C-u C-c C-c anywhere in the table
the rank numbers are recomputed starting from 1 on the first row.
I hope your blank lines aren't too important because sorting puts them
all at the bottom of the table.
The blank lines do also pose a problem in different approach, one which will make use of vector functions in calc. If you allow for no empty lines and one extra line toward the end of table, this also can do the computation.

Does that do what you want?
