Unless you're discussing elitist schools with wealthy or very intelligent students, a state school is a state school, imo. Yes, some are great, but in the end it's just undergrad.

2014 US News: 86 Out of 201 National Universities
2013 Forbes: 205 Out of 650 Colleges
2013 Lumosity: 308 Out of 456 Colleges
2013 Washington Monthly: 213 Out of 284 National Universities
This one seems to be as much of an anomaly as USNWR.
Except Alabama was 335 on Forbes (Auburn was 205)...

Thank god football season is almost here.
Just for the record, and this is the one area being a Vandy fan comes in handy in terms of credibility, academic ratings are, well, overrated. Once you get out into the real world, you'll discover some perfectly smart and educated people from a wide range of universities. You may even discover some who *shockedgasp!!* didn't even attend college. Yes, some degrees will get you more respect from the get-go during the job application process, but I don't care if you have four different degrees from Harvard, Stanford, Vanderbilt, and the Sorbonne, you're going to have to actually prove your worth out in the jungle in the long run.
And, for all you high schoolers and current college students, a bit of advice for the future: if someone judges you based on which school you went to and not on what you bring to the table, their opinion is worth frick-all, and you should treat it thusly.
