National University/College rankings:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings/national_university_rank.php

This poll has UC - Davis ranked #10 and Harvard #11. (5 of the top 10 schools are from CA)
Tell me their is a single documented case in human history that some was accepted to Harvard and went to UC - Davis because they thought it was a better school.
Case clsoed, this is a useless survey.

If you actually look at their method, 2/3 criteria are not favorable to Marquette. Social mobility? Marquette has too many middle to upper middle class students to begin with to achieve mobility and get points in this category. Research? MU doesn't have the resources to really score high here, especially compared to so many state schools. Service? I'll concede that MU probably scored well here.
As far as the top ten go, it is a little strange, but Marquette was #77 last year in the U.S. News and World Report, and #84 for the most recent ranking (I believe), not too far off from this ranking.
