That Rank Smell

Nowadays, it seems that everyone is getting into the business of ranking universities. It's good for at least a day's worth of headlines.*

The latest is the Center for World University Rankings (yes, a whole center devoted to the topic) in Saudi Arabia (no comment).

So it's Berkeley 7, UCLA 15, San Diego 21, San Francisco 27 (How can a university that is mainly a med school be ranked against full service universities? Don't ask!), Davis 53, Santa Barbara 64, Irvine 89, Santa Cruz 154, Riverside 214, Merced 936.
