I just haven't seen a way to measure one school to another outside of pure perception.

Why do people have such a hard time accepting that LSU is not all that on the academic front? There is no "perception" that La has the second worst public schools in the country. They can measure the average ACT/SAT scores for incoming freshman. They can measure admission requirements. They can measure how students due in various testing to get into grad school or attain certifications. Maybe job placement and starting salaries.

In the end, LSU is probably a middle of the pack SEC program.
Sometimes I tell some of my die hard LSU buddies that Texas A&M is a better school than LSU and they are shocked. They just can't understand it with all of those Aggie jokes and such.
And then when you throw in how much better Texas is then A&M, you really get the funny looks.
