There are "10 Harvards of the South"? I didn't realize that Harvard was packing 90,000 seat football stadiums with fans who make pig-calling noises.

#2 is right on point. These rankings are very political. I understand that there is no perfect way to rank these schools, but way too much stock in placed into this publication. It's too influential. The law school edition is even egregious.

I still enjoy strip tease shows with the Duke Lacrosse team. Yeah once in a while you get an unruly stripper with mental health issues who want to sue when sex gets a little rough. But these chicks were fairly compensated. Besides after the first case or two the administrative staff got behind us and it's all good now. And face it you can't rape a stripper at Columbia when finals are over. Oh yeah, and feel free to rape a student at Columbia at anytime.

if they didn't strip search matriculated students for tobacco they'd move up a notch or 2?

#8? too bad. It's still #1 In my book for getting violently raped and tortured in Harlem.

Personally I know Duke is stealing personnel from Columbia. It's an excellent uni. IMHOP, MIT should be the default #1 every year.

People still follow these rankings? They have been so thoroughly manipulated by certain schools that they have no meaning.

Please--when Duke tries to claim the rest of upper Manhattan under eminent domain, then I'll believe it.
