Yeah based on selectivity alone if UF isn’t highly ranked I question the methodology.
Mostly based on input data (admissions selectivity) and output data (job placement). UF landed in the top 40 in both the business and law school rankings.

How about ranking the Texas schools in terms passing the bar exam on the first try? Hint: Law degree not worth anything if you can't pass the bar.
Dude, there are a lot of lower ranked law schools, which “teach to the test,” with high bar passage rates. We used to call these “black letter law schools.”
This is not the flex that you think it is.
That said, Texas a&m’s law school was not around when I was attending law school at Texas. It looks like Texas a&m’s law school has since done well in the USNWR rankings in a relatively short time. So congrats to Texas a&m…

Surprised Tulane isnt on here. They got killed a couple years ago in these rankings for not prioritizing first generation graduates

They got killed in the rankings because they accept many mediocre students that produce mediocre results. Neither Tulane Law nor Business programs are anywhere near the top 30 nationally based on objective input and output data.

Total school rankings in the SEC according to US News 1. Vandy 2a. Florida 2b. Texas 4. Georgia 5. Texas A&M
Based on the undergraduate program? Is U.S. News comparing an undergraduate anthropology course at UF compared to UGA and UT-Austin?
UGA and Texas have business and law programs that well outrank UF, based on actual, objective metrics. Texas’ Med school also outranks UF (UGA only acquired its only Med school a few years ago).
I’m not sure how you’re staking claim to UF superiority when you are lesser ranked in the most remunerative fields by the very same publication that you reference as the authority.

I mean you might be right if solely looking at grad school stats. However its statistically harder to get into tulane undergrad than any SEC school not named Vandy

As others highlight, there are many qualitative factors that effect overall rankings that, to me, are noise

Tulane is notorious for punishing students for not applying Early Decision. Their ED rate is quite high, which subsequently suppresses their general “regular” acceptance rate (while wildly enhancing their yield rate), in turn presenting the facade of a highly selective university. Wake Forest plays this same game.
U.S. News finally recognized the artifice, and now both Tulane and Wake are ranked in the 50s and 60s, well below schools like UF, Texas, and UGA.
They are fine schools, but mostly backup colleges for kids from the Northeast, and their reputations reflect that reality. I’d group them with schools like Miami and SMU — fine schools, inferior to many better reputed state universities, and justifiable only if one’s parents (or a scholarship) recognizes they’re paying $70k / year for a country club that does not belong to the scholastic elite.
To take your selectivity logic to the uppermost principle, Tulane would then be considered “more competitive” than UVA, UNC, and Michigan, which we obviously know is not the case (only Tulane grads would profess otherwise).

No argument here (and I'm a Tulane grad). Tulane lacks the endowment of a Duke or Vanderbilt and Nola continues to decline.

So are you trying to say UGA is a better University?
Weird, I thought UF was a better University....as do most publications, academic rankings, employers, labs, hospitals, Vetinary Offices, Law Firms, etc.
But what do they know?
As for business programs..both are very good. Some of the top in the SEC for business.
But as a whole....
No question UF is better academically.
But you win the most important thing; Georgia and Texas have to be in the Top 5 for colleges in the USA for the best looking females.
