People, in general, just like rankings I guess. I don't understand how you can really rank every single school on that list like they try to do every year.
Once you are done with your core classes, every student then seperates into their own particular branch of study in their respective colleges of that University anyway. Chemistry majors go to the College of Science and Mathematics. History majors go to the College of Liberal Arts. And Engineers go to the College of Engineering. Etc., etc., etc.
How can lists like these then "rank" a whole University System as a result? Every University is different in its own way. How can you rank a particular University's collective programs when none of those programs are even associated other than sharing a select few core classes from the same institution. Otherwise, they are academically independent from one another. What does the College of Music have to do with the College of Veterinary Medicine?
They are completely different, but somehow you can combine the two (and all of the rest) and formulate a ranking that judges a whole University?
I guess I just don't understand other than, as I stated before, people just like rankings for some reason.

This is a good point. Clemson and NC State and others would be ranked higher if it was just engineering//science being ranked.

I agree with you.
