these lists will always be purely subjective, but it would be nice to see a greater degree of consistency, especially when you're talking about articles published a few weeks apart.

Different people working on different articles. Different opinions being presented.
The Top 50 (and the Org Rankings) represent the accumulated opinions of the staff (mainly those who form the committee that does the initial rankings and the final writeups).
Most of the regular articles are more reflective of the opinion of the individual writer.
While behind the scenes, we make every effort to share information and opinion on different articles/rankings/etc (all writers had a chance to comment on the Top 50 before the final articles were released, all writers get the chance to comment on the individual Top 20s), the final call comes down to the individual (or in the case of the larger "features", the committee).
The same way people on the TSN panel had different answers for who is going to win the Conn Smythe or what team is winning the Cup or whatever the nightly Quiz questions are, we have many different contributors with many different opinions.
At times, the discussions on the staff board about some of our work are just as spirited as anything that appears here in public.
