After Rice, SMU is ranked second in Texas in their rating of the best of undergraduate universities and colleges:
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/94/bes ... te_22.html"The best college in America isn't in Cambridge or Princeton, West Point or Annapolis. It's nestled in the Berkshire Mountains. Williams College, a 217-year-old private liberal arts school, tops our third annual ranking of America's Best Colleges.
Our list of more than 600 undergraduate institutions is based on the quality of the education they provide, the experiences of the students and how much they achieve."

But Williams has a 117 year head start. We are catching up.

We would need to pass Rice first in the State of Texas., but a worthy challenge.

Didn't Forbes have SMU No. 13 two years ago?
What a precipitous fall all the way to 109!
and three places better than my alma mater!

I'm a huge wine guy myself. Mostly burgs and domestic pinot. A little Piemonte.
Is there somewhere we can get the explanation of the categories/method Forbes used for the rankings?
