<p>jwu: I agree the rankings are flawed, but everyone has their own idea of what the rankings should be, and thus, there is no “one” ranking system that is correct. My thoughts were that if I stuck to a specific (USNWR in this case) ranking system and suggested against alterations, I could see where the LACs fell into the NU ranks. I was specifically interested in where the USNWR rankings would converge–then we could draw our own conclusions on where they should finally be move.</p>
