I think the list is plausible at a high level in that the schools listed at the top are all great schools, but as noted above the weighting used may not match what a particular student values.

I think in particular that one rank ordering including LACs and research universities is an apples to oranges comparison. Certainly some will find Pomona and Williams to be better for their needs than Stanford, Princeton, Yale and Harvard (as the rank ordering would indicate), but it’s ranking two very different kinds of institutions.
