[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This ranking is so random except for the top 1-7. US Naval Academy is at #80 behind many public universities. No logic to its ranking. [/quote]

There is logic and the rankings are not random.  Read the methodology.[/quote]

That’s like reading the methodology for the National Enquirer or People’s ranking of colleges. Whatever their criteria is, you hane to wonder why accept their methodology and not others. You haven’t answered any question by pointing to their methodology. The question is here is, why their (weird) methodology? [/quote]

Who is requiring that you or anyone accept their methodology?  If you don't agree, move on.[/quote]

This is the whole problem with rankings.  Sure it fuels endless threads like this one as ppl argue over the relative merit of Stanford, UVA etc.  But its all meaningless. Ratings = Excellent, Very Good, Good, etc. Are much better barometers of a college. Bc one you know a school is "excellent" weather you choose School A or School B is about individual preference (fit, $, etc.)[/quote]
