We are just trailing Baylor.

I was shocked to discover that Utah is in the 3rd tier, and therefore not ranked. Did they not understand that Utah is a Nobel-prize producing school? Baffling.

Uh, correction. This is a ranking for undergraduate programs. As the list says, 79th best "college." Do you know the difference? The listing is also heavily weighted toward admission standards. I think this is as it should be but state law essentially disqualifies Utah from competing on these lists. Utah should establish competitive admissions standards like most of its peers do.
