@sbballer:
USNews has the non-Oxbridge UK and British Empire unis much lower (IMO, closer to reality):

Imperial #19 instead of #9
UCL #23 instead of #7
Edinburgh #36 instead of #19
KCL #45 instead of #21
NUS #50 instead of #12
Nanyang #74 instead of #13

IMO, only Imperial may be considered an Ivy-equivalent (I’d say they are between Ivy-equivalent Caltech and GTech). I’d have UCL comparable to UMich. Edinburgh and KCL to UT-Austin and UNC. NUS and Nanyang to UT-Austin and A&M.
