His real specialty is getting pegged by his wife.

Only idiots give the USNWR credence as an actual academic barometer.
“Best” in this case is not about academics.
Most of you don’t even have a clue what their ranking criteria is.
100% correct but it’s bad optics. Especially for those from out of state who mostly compete with the UM being only a party school stigma.
Bingo! That's also allowed UF to become more exclusive and helped them up the rankings without actually having to improve their academics. FSU is enjoying a similar trajectory.Florida Pre-Paid, Bright Futures and the insanely high cost of OOS tuition means the state of Florida is keeping more of it's kids home. All the state schools are much more competitive than they used to be. FSU got 60+ apps for their freshman class. UF's acceptance rate was barely 30%. Even UCF isn't a gimme anymore.
But, whatever. Fix the fooball program. Profit.
Penn State. But I do not and will not claim them other than giving me a degree.
I'm not trying to disagree with you...but while those of us who are older can probably agree with you...a lot of people who are 18 and are trying to get into the highest-ranked school are not going to care that much.
If some magazine says F$U is good...and it's cheap...a lot of Florida kids are going to apply. And then F$U looks more selective (statistically). That's just reality.
