Thoughts?

Any ranking system where OSU beats Princeton HAS to be legit, right?

Interesting ranking. If your goal is to go to a large research university that has many poor people who either go into the military or are hippies working in public service, this list is probably a gold mine.

I clicked on it and scrolled through the first two or three schools, but didn't see Ohio U., so I figured this was an April Fool's joke posted a day late and closed out of it.

Hey it could be worse, at least this ranking system seems independent, its not like its sponsored/created by a diploma factory that using its 'non-biased' criteria deems itself ranked #12 in law schools, when no one else would probably rank them in the top 200. The hubris is hilarious:

The list hardly takes academics into account. This is honestly some of the most arbitrary criteria I've ever seen. Since research is one of the three components of course the nation's largest research university would rank higher than places like Yale and Princeton because they are teaching institutions, not really research universities.

Let's be honest here, any list that doesn't have Ohio State in the top 10 is junk, and you can take that to the bank.

Interesting that no matter the criteria, Ohio's best university always tops the list.

The SEC, with the exception of Vanderbilt, did VERY poorly in this. Interesting.
