Malcolm Gladwell summed up rankings, of any kind, best here: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/02/14/the-order-of-things.

In a nutshell, a Porsche might not be "better’ than a Chevy truck if your main goal is hauling wood. Hence my snarky reply.

As @fractalmstr said it’s really only about what matters to you. To take that a step further, non-academic things (weather, support for hobbies, location, accessibility to home, etc.) are all as important as academic concerns. When you are at an institution that feels “right” for you, you will thrive.
