So we are agreed that there is a problem.

If we agree on that, then we probably also agree that maintaining the status quo is not entirely satisfactory.

I see two ways forward: 1) attempt to rectify the situation by instituting a level playing field. Or 2) drop the pretense of rankings and just let clans play whomever they wish to without any rankings.

Of course there is a problem.
It has been stated, proved and re-stated for all to see.
There is a massive collusion campaign going on.
None of your suggestions will stop that.
Russ is aware of it, but seems content to do nothing.
If he does nothing, he will lose revenue.
If he fixes the problem, he might salvage the situation.
