1.Most of you are way overestimating the knowledge level of the average person with regard to top colleges. Why would they know?

  1. The average person can't name three Ivies let alone all eight.
  2. Many will be hard pressed to name 25 colleges at all, if community colleges, and the electoral college are excluded.
  3. They only know something about schools in their state and maybe some colleges that play schools in their state.
  4. Top colleges are known by people for whom top colleges are relevant. That is not average Joe.
  5. Ask a few real average Joe's what a few of the countries best colleges are and see what they say. Remember, no leading them, just ask the question.
