I just applied today for 8 cards. The last one I applied for was the US Airways card. I had one since 5/12 and figured with all the posts it would be safe. After talking with the CSR and telling him that I wanted to separate expenses he stated that you could only have one of these cards at a time and denied me!

It doesn't rank them, but it does provide a starting point for seeing what's around right at this moment (it gets updated as offers get added and as offers expire or are withdrwan). Post 1 has the list that gets updated; the rest of the thread is unimportant (except for history of offers, perhaps) except the latest posts show what changed most recently.
The top 5 offers are not absoute. What is most useful is to get enough miles and points to do something. Applying for a supposedly "top" offer of 70k miles from an ailrine where you have no miles and are not likely to get more miles and the only use you would have would be in 100k mile increaements is not likely to be a top 5 offer for you, but might be for someone who already collects miles with that airlikne in other means and so can top off that 70k to 100k easily. A "top" offer for a hotel program card for a hotel program which does not have properties in the places you travel may be useless to you, even though it may be of great use to someone else who travels to other places.
Thus you can make your own top 5 list, but I don't know if it makes sense to make a top 5 list that covers everyone (especially since these offers come and go constantly, and since the "special" offers list already exiss in the thread I linked).

Well, actually, if you haven't looked at it, the master thread is of "special" offers, rather than "all" offers. So it already does that partially:

The best you can do with Citi right now is 95k AA miles (50k for Visa + 45k for Amex) unless you can get approved for 2 Visa's. As of right now 50k Citi Amex link is dead and has been for the last few days.
Also, 55k UA is gone. It has been decreased to 30k and the trick with having a few miles in your MileagePlus account isn't working anymore. However, people have been reporting that you can still apply for 55k UA by going to Chase branch.
