I could, and still fail at understanding why many of these rankings put so much weight on name recognition and prestige. This one for example places 50% on just that. And what does having foreign students have at all to do with actual academic strength? Yet another terrible ranking methodology, and thus a terrible crafted list.

Why not weigh stuff that actually matters, such as school resources, employment output, faculty quality, etc.
