I love ranking things. Tiering things is my preference, but comparing and contrasting things is a valuable mental exercise that forces you to make tough decision and illuminates your priorities and values. It’s not for someone with difficulty making decisions and it’s not for someone who struggles with conviction.
This is especially true in American football, where QB rankings have dominated conversations around both the water cooler and the broadcast table. Football fans love to rank things and they love to consume content ranking things. There is no ranking that will make everyone happy, but a lot of rankings will make everyone engage.
