If the link does not work, the rundown is 
Top 10 (1925)
1. Chicago
2. Harvard
3. Columbia
4. Yale 
5. Wisconsin
6. Princeton 
7. Johns Hopkins
8. Michigan
9. Berkeley 
10. Cornell

The only difference is that the "Big 3" went from Harvard-Chicago-Columbia, to Harvard-Yale-Princeton. Furthermore, Berkeley eventually eclipsed Wisconsin and Michigan for the top public university spot, which was pretty inevitable given their faculty. Wisconsin is placed higher than say Cornell back then simply due to department strength and college administrators; Charles Van Hise ( Wisconsin's President just before this) is widely considered to be the most important public university president of all time.
