And those metrics were academic reputation, research strength, alumni network and influence, financial resources, athletic brand, and career outcomes. Here is the ranking it gave me:
1. Texas
2. Vanderbilt
3. Florida
4. UGA
5. Texas A&M
6. Alabama
7. Tennessee
8. Oklahoma
9. Auburn
10. LSU
11. Kentucky
12. Missouri
13. South Carolina
14. Arkansas lol
15. Ole Miss lol
16. Miss State lol

You didn’t go to a very valuable school. Deal with it.

Deflecting from what? Academic reputation has very little to do with what we talk about here. I think it's great criteria and a good offseason thread. Just don't agree with that aspect of it.

Doesn’t look far off but how are all those categories weighted? Can’t be evenly.

Ex. Vanderbilt has a great academic reputation but I’m not sure their alumni network and athletic brand are on par or above some of the others.

If it was just academics alone, it would def be Vandy. But when you add in the other things, it makes sense.

I don't see any issues with this ranking. Uses more relevant data points than the US News and World Report that comes out every September

Naw, I just assumed you’d forgotten to factor that metric in the career outcome data.
