It was created by the Times Higher Education unit. They created the criteria. The management of the Times has had significant Oxford representation.
As does the BBC / The Economist / Parliament.
Most high end institutions within the UK have strong Oxford and Cambridge links. Cambridge isn't top of the list. Therefore defeating your silly stance completely.

Welcome to the Washington Monthly’s annual College Guide and Rankings, where we rate schools based on what they do for the country. It’s our answer to U.S. News & World Report, which relies on crude and easily manipulated measures of wealth, exclusivity, and prestige.
We rank four-year schools (national universities, liberal arts colleges, baccalaureate colleges, and master’s universities) based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research, and providing opportunities for public service. We also rank Best Bang for the Buck colleges, which help non-wealthy students obtain marketable degrees at affordable prices.
But it’s only US. Nothing international. There is more to the world of education than these borders. Indeed, the OP posted the top 50 worldwide. Impressive list. Not everything needs to be American or in America to be great, you know?!
Your have the writing skills of a very average eight year old.
You are not helping.

Seriously, WHY do you guys care so much? Grown adults making fun of colleges?! And you call yourselves “elite.” It’s so laughable and embarrassing.

But ahead of Georgetown, Rice, Notre Dame and Tufts (to name a few) in this dungeon. But, hey, you beat UVA at something! Congrats.
Those aren't exactly research and graduate powerhouses either.

The UC schools are about as far from perfect undergraduate schools as you can get. Couldn't care less about undergraduates. Is this more or less a research rating?

This states a 30% teaching component, anyone know if USNWR calculates that at all?
USNWR has a separate teaching ranking, which isn't included in the overall ranking.

UVA in dungeons in this one as well.
But Utah State is Top 10! Go Aggies.
And UVA is in the dungeon ahead of Michigan, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Brown, Tufts, Vanderbilt, USC, Johns Hopkins and CalTech. These rankings are super accurate.
