Lmao. Someone's butthurt. I think aTm has a larger endowment than Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, and Virginia. Surely you wouldn't argue that it's a better school than those?

I'm assuming my post will be preceded by pages of people who went to bad schools arguing over the metric. And maybe, just maybe, someone will take solace in the fact they are ranked higher than their in-state rival (even though the metric is "bullshite" and they should be ranked way higher). How'd I do?
Actually hasn't been much of that.

Wow.
#1 for the Big 12 would be number 6 in the Big Ten, number 3 in the SEC, number 8 in the ACC, and number 7 in the PAC 12.

Also, it was well-documented that Baylor was paying its students to retake their SAT once they were enrolled.
Is it any surprise then that their ranking has gone from the 90's to the low 70's in under 5 years?

Couldn't that money have been put to better use in the collection plate?

Rankings like this are unadulterated horse manure. You want some rankings, I'll give you some rankings:
#1: LSU
Everyone else: bleaux me.
That is all.
Thank you and
#1: LSU

That is all.
Thank you and

But where does THE University of Louisiana rank?

USNWR rankings aren't worth the paper they are written on.
The graduates of the #68 school have a higher average starting salary than the #16 ranked school.
WTF does anyone care what some ivy league editor thinks.

Yeah, because average starting salary is all that matters. Some of the world's most important jobs are filled with people that earn far less than CEOs, hedge fund managers, and banker MDs.

Your inability to detect sarcasm is why Texas A&M will never be a top-50 school and proof that your education is shite.

I am most impressed by ATM's ability to brainwash it's students.

I thought these were Wide Receiver rankings and got pissed. Then I realized I misread and that they were academic rankings and was okay with it

Damn talk about a divide in the Pac 12. Texas schools carrying the Big 12.
On a side note, states with a larger population and talent pool to choose from have better rankings. Not hard to figure these rankings out. If your state have a population of 6mil or less your rankings are lower. There's some smart folks in the State of Kansas. KU is a pretty good school, OU is also pretty good. Rankings are a joke.

A&M was a top 50 school my sophomore year. Your argument fails.
