The fact that the UC’s did so well (UCI went up more spots than any other school ranked 1-50), speaks more to the fact that the us news editors change the methodology wildly every year to get strange results.

I think it’s pretty obvious that USC being ranked ahead of UCLA was a calculated decision made by the editors to sell magazines (and to garner interest for the ranking next year).
