LSU is tied for 140th among national universities, according to college rankings released Monday by U.S. News & World Report.

Tulane University, which is a private school, is the highest-rated Louisiana college or university on the list at No. 44.

All of the rankings are in the 2019 Best Colleges report, which includes data on more than 1,800 schools in a variety of categories.

That list includes Vanderbilt University, 14; University of Florida, 35; University of Georgia, 46; Texas A&M, 66; University of South Carolina, 106; Auburn University and University of Tennessee, both at 115 and the University of Alabama and University of Missouri, both at 129.

LSU finished ahead of the University of Kentucky, 147; University of Arkansas and Ole Miss, both at 152; and Mississippi State University, 177.

Last week, The Wall Street Journal said LSU tied for 352nd among 500 public and private colleges and universities reviewed in its annual survey.

Not in academics surely. They actually have surplus revenue.

These rankings are bullshite. They don’t give enough credit for fastest public funding decline, vintage library resources, and letter shaped pools.

Stressing about USNWR is useless, they get high on schools for various reasons that are completely disconnected from academic reputation and career prospects, and they usually self-correct over time.

This year, Howard and FSU are particularly bizarre. Alabama suddenly isn't in favor anymore after years of playing the rankings like a fiddle.

Surely if they compare SU to all colleges they are top 100.

Once-mighty Murray, #32 "regional universities south"

They always make the top tier of bargains though. $ on the blue plate special.

not to worry.

Our offense is currently ranked #110 in FBS. And #14 in the SEC.
