Exactly - these rankings can be manipulated for various purposes (rankings, PR, etc)

Not only is Bama's acceptance rate lower by 20%, but Bama is higher in the rankings that most people look to: USNWR.
USNWR is a joke. Would you like me to link 10-15 articles that back up my opinion?
IMO, collegiate rankings should place more emphasis on how well a university graduates their students & their alumni's post graduate success (retention, ROI, endowment/giving, starting & mid-career earning levels, nationally competitive awards, etc) than the successes a student has in high school (ACT, high school GPA, etc)
