Those rankings from USNews are, I believe, graduate school rankings. Rice is a lot stronger for undergrad than grad.

I like to look at this instead of rankings:

When looking at this, make sure you consider the fact that Rice is smaller than the other 2 and was a lot smaller than it is now 50 years ago. Still, all three schools fair well.
