US News Rankings (2009) - National Universities
And I'll huff and puff, and I'll blow your house down.
Coming on the heels of our Forbes dissing, some good news. Or is it?
In our self-selected peer group, we are again last:
1 UC-Berkeley 21
2 UCLA 25
3 MIchigan 26
4 Wisconsin 35
5 Illinois 40
6 U Washington 41
7 Texas 47
7 Penn State 47
9 Florida 49
10 Ohio State 56
11 University of Minnesota—Twin Cities 61
In the public universities of the BigTen we are sixth of ten.
26 Michigan
35 Wisconsin
40 Illinois
47 Penn State
56 Ohio State
61 Minnesota
66 Purdue
66 Iowa
71 Indiana
71 Michigan State
As far as all public universities in the country, we are tied for 21st with Clemson University:
21 University of California—Berkeley
23 University of Virginia
25 University of California—Los Angeles
26 University of Michigan
30 University of North Carolina
35 University of Wisconsin—Madison

58 University of Pittsburgh
58 University of Georgia
61 University of Minnesota—Twin Cities
61 Clemson University (SC)
Being one of the top schools in the BigTen is obviously going to be quite a challenge for us.
And as far as being "one of the top three public research universities in the world [sic]," I don't think so. The above list does not include places like Cambridge, Oxford, or the ETH-Zurich.
