OT: OK then, we'll call it a draw. (with UCF)

[rich.sessums]

The annual US News & World Report college and university rankings are out.  Thus is, arguably, the most extensive, exhaustive and best evaluation used to rank our nation's colleges and universities.

 

We're number 170 on the list, and, coincidentally, we TIED for that spot with UCF.  Interesting.

The rest of the nation sees the two as the same, often confusing one with the other so its not that unexpected.

Even on the global ranking, we're tied with them

In less subjective rankings with more emphasis placed on research, USF does much better. Take Washington Monthly, for instance:

UF 24

FIU 41

FSU 70

USF 78

UWF 92

UM 168

University of Phoenix Online 197 (just for comparison)

UCF 211

UCF behind the university of Pheonix? I'm sorry but that really has me questioning that poll, and Miami just ahead? No way.
