[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] All the points you make and the points in the linked article are valid. It doesn't change the fact that when someone refers to a Top 25 college they are almost always referring to the U.S. News ranking. One reason the US News rankings caught on is that they generally track what most people think (partly due to the methodology). When someone tries to introduce a new ranking that puts Wisconsin ahead of Brown or Cornell ahead of Princeton it just doesn't feel right.[/quote] You're right. As a researcher I know that more good research comes out of Wisconsin than Brown, and I hear the undergrad experience at Wisconsin is pretty good too (although Brown's undergrad experience is apparently fantastic, like going to summer camp for four years). And yet it still feels odd to have Wisconsin over Brown.[/quote]
