Let's look at some legitimate rankings with some actual clout, respect, and reputation like US News.
Respect and reputation by whom? Among professional academics, US News is regarded as drivel. Universities use US News because of marketing advantages when favorable to them, but not because of any belief in validity.
US News has been successful in hyping their rankings by clever marketing, but don't confuse succesful marketing with validity.

While I agree with you that the USNWR rankings are full of shite, they are better than most IMO and certainly better than the ones that were presented in this thread.
ETA: I wish Gourman Report still ranked by undergraduate programs which is much more useful. IMO, the best way to rank something is ROI and starting salaries based on college major, so we are comparing apples to apples
