From some of those schools in front of us, we really must be slipping. Wow!!!

But then again, you really have to laugh at some of these school rankings when a school can bounce 10 or 20 places over the course of a year or two. LOL!!!

When it comes down to it, you really can't take them too seriously.
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

Most reputable rankings place SMU in the 15-20 range (for US).
ABSOLUTELY!!!

I remember about 7 or 8 years ago, COX was ahead of Stanford, ND, Harvard in a WSJ's "Best B-Schools" (top 50) & that year they were 4 or 5; & then a couple of years later - not even in the top 20 or so in the WSJ poll. Huh??????????????? LOL!!!!!!!

Oh - and now this??? Even more slippage?!

You really have to laugh at some of this stuff.

Cox may struggle a bit with the substantially increased enrollment unless a good bit of the proceeds are plowed back into recruitment and scholarships. Like in undergrad, the true competition is against UT for job opportunities. Pony Up!

"Number of jobs three months after graduation" and "% increase in salary" need some work.

However, faculty is well regarded, as are "Breadth of alumni network" and "assessment of career services." Hmm.
