I just wrote an article that addresses the Bleacher Report Writer Ranking System, which has been a sore spot to some and an area of controversy to many of you on this site.

I think that it's an important issue that needs to be addressed within this community. Please give the article a read when you have the chance. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
