MIT is not 2nd tier.
2nd tier meaning...best schools not Ivy League. That does not mean the best non Ivy isn't better than the worst Ivy. It's just a very common meaning of the term that's been used since the 50s.
What's interesting is that back in the 50s the best schools in the world still included European schools like Cambridge and Oxford. Those schools have gone way down since then. That's why rich people in Europe send their kids to the U.S. for college.

Oxford and Cambridge still come in top 10 worldwide in any ranking system I've seen. In terms of brand name, they still have universal name recognition among the general public.
Relative to the rest of the world, the US certainly has done much better over the past 50 years. The US certainly dominates top universities though.
There are only a handful of US schools (Harvard, MIT, Stanford) that I'd choose over Oxford for example in terms of worldwide name recognition.
