Wow there are so many of those. Jeez. To be fair I will say this one is definitely one of the better ones and doesn’t seem outrageous. It’s moderately accurate. It’s interesting to see that B tier schools are on average ranked higher overall than B+ tier schools. Literally all B+ tier schools are T20s(Emory is technically 21 but is basically T20)
