UC Santa Barbara is top 30 in the US, top-50 in the world.  Most of our peers are in the Big Ten. 

But you all not smart enough to learn the game of football?

There are 72 FBS teams on the list.  Hawaii is the highest ranked G5 public university.  

Institutions within the same rank range are listed alphabetically.

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Reach.  World University rankings?  Seriously.  

Those things are as bad as preseason football polls.

 

Preseason football polls only has 130+ teams.  MOE is much less than what a world institution list would be.

 

This is like having a bag of 5,000 rocks, and you have to rank the best.

Well first sort out the diamonds, then the rubies, then the topazes.

Now with the remaining 4900 rocks, sort out the sandstone and limestone and basalt and gneiss and schist and slate and shale. Quickly!

If we are going with AztecSU's assumption, what if beauty or price is not the end-all-be-all?  And what is our true metric?  Is your category similar to private, public, non-profit and religious? 

Are we willing to qualify UC Santa Cruz as a diamond, and UVA as a lesser but still nice topaz?

 

 

And leave it to the geologist to break out that analogy!

I do think they get the top 30 or so, even if the order is screwed up.    But to measure a university in Hungary with one in Delaware is a joke. Who's attending those classes to do the eval?

The fact that San Diego St is even on this list makes this list questionable.
