It's due to the fact that BYU doesn't succeed (or try) in some areas that universities are measured--like graduate programs and research. If every university were like BYU, then the nation would go into the toilet. Academic research is vital and important to this country, but due to opportunity costs I suppose, BYU doesn't emphasize or pursue it. It is what it is.
That's what makes the fact that BYU is ranked ahead of Utah interesting.
