<p>If a ranking list doesn’t show ties, it’s entirely unclear how much of a difference there really is between, say, second place and fourth place. A quick glance at the link kyledavid posted showed Princeton above Berkeley in physics (possibly irrelevant for the reason I just wrote), and some subjects not listed as ranked subjects. I doubt very much the overall statement “Berkeley will blow Princeton away for grad studies,” because “blow away” implies a degree of difference between Princeton and Berkeley that probably doesn’t exist at all, and certainly not to the disfavor of Princeton. Berkeley, of course, is substantially larger in enrollment than Princeton and might be expected to have more students in more programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level.</p>
