....LOL !!!

"In other words, these are the colleges where accepted students find the workload easiest when normalized by the aptitude of the student body."

i'll take jabs at the UW sports teams all day, but these types of rankings are pointless.  especially when they define and measure rigor as they did in this "study."  not too long ago many of the ivy league schools were criticized for grade inflation, and if you've ever spent time on campus at a school like harvard, you quickly see all the academic support available for students.  educationally, imho, UW has a very solid school that i'm proud to support as a taxpayer.  just wish they'd clean house of anything alvarez and ryan related.  i enjoyed the dick bennett days...

As much fun as it is to poke fun at UW, you have to take into account the "normalized based on the student body."  Getting on this list doesn't make a school "easy"...it just makes a school "easy" for the, in many cases, high quality students who are admitted to them. 

Then again UCF and USF are #1 and #3, so maybe I'm wrong...

There's nothing here that most of us haven't already learned...  There are three types of colleges:

1) The one where you have to work your ass off to get into
2) The ones you have to work your ass off to graduate
3) Ivies that don't start with 'Corn'

Bucky was also the #7 party school.  Guess you can't be a big party school if you have to spend Sunday in the library.
