<p>Sure, Williams wins this, but you have to include Middlebury in the list too. They consistently rank in the top five academically and in the top five of the Directors cup too. Plus, since 1995 they’ve won 29 National Championships.
Based purely on academics, I’d say</p>

<p>MIT
Williams
Amherst
Swat
Middlebury</p>
