They seem clearly bogus in that they're by English-speaking press and happen to rate all the English-speaking universities top.
And if they're dumb in that way, probably they're dumb in other ways I haven't thought of too, right?
Is there some real signal in there?
USNWR only ranks US universities. It’s not a world ranking. It doesn’t even include foreign in passport only Canada.
It does make my criticism irrelevant in this case, good point.
