what's the deal with the ranking?

It’s a conjecture on my part, but one I made based upon known facts. Where do you live? In Texas, Missouri, ND, and Iowa, most ppl haven’t heard of Tufts, and I assume that many university administrators there either haven’t heard of it, don’t know enough about it to rate it, or think it’s Tulsa, Tass, Taft, or some other school with a similar-sounding name.

<p>LOL. The hole you are digging for yourself grows ever deeper. Perhaps those sorry folks in the midwest and south haven’t heard of the benefits of fire or the wheel, either?</p>
