After the true elite schools it's all a crap shoot in my opinion. Yes, certain programs put you in better position at certain schools but a lot is determined by what YOU put into it.

My dad went to Florida Tech (no, not UCF lol), which had even less recognition back then. You wouldn't think that man went to a school ranked 453 based on his career though. Just sayin.

I don't know what they are smoking, Rollins, Eckerd, Stetson AND UNF in front of USF?? I'm by no means saying we are a top 100 school lol but using their methodology of " focusing on educational outcomes, not reputations" none of the FL schools in between FSU and USF should be there.

To rank every single school is quite a ridiculous thing to do in the first place. Because of accreditation requirements the education is mostly the same everywhere, without much separating the better more well known programs from the lesser known ones when it comes to education received. Because there are so many schools, lists like this make the disparity look huge between the top and bottom when it's really not that big. Also, this lists becomes wildly scrambled when considering individual majors.
