Forbes Best COlleges in America (SMU #186)

by **PonyTime** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 9:46 am

Of TX schools - only Rice is top 50.

#186 SMU
#216 University of Texas
#260 Texas A&M
#365 UTEP
#385 Texas Tech
#509 University of North Texas
#512 Sam Houston State University
#513 TCU

Now - I have to say - the methodology Forbes uses is quite suspect (to say it loosely). For instance, the University of the Ozarks (Mo) ranks ahead of TCU . . . though I do enjoy seeing TCU ranked #513 in anything.

Interesting. No surpise, 9 of the top 10 are up east. I am surprise it was not 10 out of 10 from the east.

While I must agree that this list is clearly made by a bunch of biggoted yankees that hate Texas or the south, I must say:
