Dungareedoll:

Stanford is the only school who actually doesn’t submit stats to USNWR. Stanford does not subscribe to that ranking.



Not only that, but also a former Stanford president, Gerhard Casper openly criticized the USNWR rankings in the mid-1990’s: [Criticism of College Rankings - September 23, 1996](Criticism of College Rankings - September 23, 1996)

At some point before this letter, Stanford had been ranked #1 by USNWR. Since then, Stanford has never been ranked higher than #4. Coincidence???
