I always find rankings of undergraduate rankings silly to begin with.
undergrad is undergrad is undergrad.... there's basically no difference practically-speaking in an undergraduate degree from Ole Miss and Harvard and Jacksonville State and Florida International and Princeton.
Is there a perception? Certainly. But at the end of the day undergraduate degrees and the knowledge that comes with those respective degrees are all the same across the board.
Biology class at one school is no different than biology class at another school. Marketing class at one school is no different than marketing class at another school. Algebra at one school is no different than algebra at another school. I could go on and on...

Anybody that doesn't take the US rankings report with a grain of salt doesn't know the true origin of the ranking...
It is mostly based on undergrad acceptance...
WVU wants all their residents to have a shot at an education so they can stay in state, make more money with a degree...more money = more tax revenue
WVU has a very good Business program (Accounting dept. is in the top 100 and is the first in the nation to offer a PhD in forensic accounting). WVU also has a very good Engineering program.
WVU could change their admission standards at the snap of a finger. They don't because they are a public university with state government involvement.
Not that I expect anyone (myself included although I am a WVU grad and a CPA during the slow season) posting on this website during normal business hours to understand that.
