I don't care for some of their methodology, especially the "prestige", "costs", and "diversity" categories. (The selectivity one can be thrown out period because it's too easy for a university to manipulate.) Don't get me wrong -- I think UF is probably the best public university in the conference, overall, though UGA and TAMU can legitimately beg to differ and I'd even agree with them in many specific circumstances. So my problem isn't with the results, just the means of achieving those results.
Edit: Incidentally, I did my grad work at UNC, so I'm happy with the results. Still not sold on the methodology.

I used to work for a Fortune 500 company that would bring in engineers from GT, MIT, West Point and Rensselaer. After a project was done, it was my job to see if they could manage a union shop. Never had a Clemson ME/EE.
Most of my electricians were former Navy Chiefs. Submariners. They would run circles around the EEs.
Those guys were like herding cats, but I'll take them any day over an engineer.
