It's an arbitrary ranking system where Tulane is siginficantly better than all the schools within ten ranking spots of them in every area except for one, peer assessment.
Well it is a criteria deemed to be important by the source, so there's at least a little something to that.

It is obvious that the two schools are certainly within shooting range of each other even if we messed around with the rankings a little bit for either side. Of course, with such similar academic qualities, it is interesting that one of them charges over 4.5 times what the other does for tuition and fees. Love me some value.

Have you ever seen one of the leaked peer assessment surveys? They're terrible. It's been all over the higher ed publications recently. Several have leaked in the past year, and they were absolutely ridiculous.

Anyway, despite what the other Tulane poster implied I've always respected Texas academically. I don't think you guys are like Florida, an incredibly overrated school with delusions of academic grandeur

And the money comments never bother me. Scholarships are a wonderful thing

Yes, Vince had a terrible game tonight. But what quarterback other than Peyton Manning never has a bad game?

VY's stats from his nine starts this year:

135/226 for 1708 yards (59.7% comp.), 10 TD's and 5 INT's. QB rating of 88.88.

Also 50 rushes for 278 yards and 2 TD's.


Not outstanding by any strech but if VY continues to improve, which he has judging from this season's performance, he can be a solid NFL QB in a running style offense. He will never have elite passing stats, but with Chris Johnson to lean on, he can be effective IMO.
