<p>Ranking from US news and world report is subjective peer review score. In terms of productivity, MIT has obvious upper hand ([Performance</a> Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities](<a href=“http://ranking.heeact.edu.tw/en-us/2009%20by%20Fields/Domain/ENG]Performance”>http://ranking.heeact.edu.tw/en-us/2009%20by%20Fields/Domain/ENG)). In fact, Stanford’s productivity is behind UCB, Georgia Tech, Singapore National University. Here is Turing award table ([Turing</a> Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Award]Turing”>Turing Award - Wikipedia)), I don’t see anywhere near 20 recipients from Stanford.
