If colleges were stocks

Which colleges do you see moving up the most in the rankings (university overall or undergraduate business school) over the next ten years? If colleges were stocks which stock (college) do you think has the most upside (based upon their US News ranking)? Obviously there won't be a lot of movement 1-25; however, there tends to be quite a bit of shuffling between schools ranked 35-70. I can't post the link where I got my information but if you google "Average U.S. News Rankings for 123 Universities: 2012-2019" it's the first result that appears. Are there any schools you would short? Personally, I see SMU, UGA, and Clemson as schools to watch.
