@philbegas I don’t know if your comment was directed at me, but I personally hate the USNews rankings also; they
re methodology is just as bad as this one. However, despite using somewhat questionable methodology, USNews doesn’t stray that far off from how I would rank US colleges from my personal research, with a few exceptions (I pretty much agree with USNews Top 20 schools, though I differ on a few particular order places).

However, not only does this ranking use rather bad methodology, but it’s rankings just seem off, to say the least (For example, having Notre Dame and Vandy in the 200s).

On a separate note, I personally like Forbes methodology the best. Though it is not without flaws, it’s way better than USNews in my opinion, who focuses too much on input and prestige.
