Who does the academic rankings? Who is number 1 right now?
To me your school's reputation for your particular major/area of study is what matters moreso than an overall ranking. So, as to #1 in football or #1 in the US News and World Report overall rankings (or something similar) give me the #1 in football. At this point in my career, my school's current academic rankings doesn't matter much to me, it's about work experience at this point. If I was still in school or just out, then I might think differently.

Nailed it. School ranking in academics matters very little once you have 5+ years of experience in a career field.
ETA: Also, after 5 years or more, the ranking is not as relevant to the actual education that you received.
