Each year, the UF President (now, President Fuchs) has to give a state of the university speech to the faculty. Below is a link to that speech and Q&A.
About 1/2 is prepared speech, the other 1/2 is Q&A. At about 19:30, President Fuchs discusses the universities rankings, including some interesting background info on rankings and UF’s goals. It’s a fairly candid discussion.
