My bad, OSUmom2018! I accidentally posted the thread at our General Forum earlier and asked the Mods to relocate the thread here. 
@rjk,
Unfortunately, same can be said about Michigan’s last few years in terms of USNWR ranking… That’s why I stated that due to the ever ‘fluid’ nature of its recent ranking methodology, it will take tOSU another year or two at most to be recognized by the magazine. In short, the topic of this thread is about tOSU’s #1 rank by the Niche in terms of football program. Let’s try to get back to the topic, should we?
