Even if overall ranking was not based on ranking frequency, averaging the scores would still mean that the UP Pep Squad got a higher average score over second placer FEU Cheering Squad. The release of the score sheets clears out all the issues that surrounded the ranking process.
One possible reason why the ranking system was implemented over the simple averaging system was to avoid score extremes (outliers) which could perhaps result from bias for a certain squad. In this system, no school will have extreme scores, with the differences leveled in by basis of ranking. The system grants every judge and every school equal weight.
