Missouri...? Are they not a fricking AAU school? I thought the very best were AAU schools.
Plus you have other schools in the state that attract the brightest students like Washington U, Truman St, Missouri S&T, and St. Louis University. Considering the population of about 6mil Missouri have some pretty good academic schools to choose from.

Interesting list, I still don't see how the major 3-4 ranking services can have such disparity in rankings.
LSU is about to begin their major overhaul/streamlining campaign. The link above is the final report the Transition Advisory Team put together after months & months of bringing in speakers/chancellors with knowledge and experience in various facets of a university. I know Gordon Gee(tOSU) spoke, a head at Michigan, numerous CEO's, and an array of experts across the nation were brought in.
I know previously each LSU campus/college (LSU, LSUA, LSUHSC-S&NO, LSUE, LSUS, LSUAg, LSU College of Ag, Pennington Bio, etc) would compete against each other for grant money and would not share money that was brought in. If I have read correctly, communication and collaboration on research and ect between campuses was very rare. This will be a huge change.
LSU plans to implement a common application, create an unified course numbering system across campuses, increase graduate enrollment, increase undergraduate & graduate research, increase out of state enrollment by ~20% and there's ton of other objectives. I've kept up to date with the whole deal and watched 5-6 task-force meetings and it's crazy how wasteful the LSU system has been (e.g. the amount of administrative jobs that can be consolidated)
The report is long as hell but if that stuff interests you, it's a good read.
