With a child who is a senior, I've looked at a lot of the southern schools. Getting into Texas Tech isn't any easier than Alabama. And Alabama is not the bottom of the SEC.
Houston is ranked 185 and it is far, far more difficult to get into than all but the top 4 SEC schools, yet all but Mississippi St. are rated above them in USNWR, usually far above them. So I'd take USNWR with a grain of salt.
ARWU and WUR have the issue that they focus on research and graduate schools. Excellent schools like TCU and Navy are unranked. Miami University, one of the public ivies is unranked. William and Mary, another of the public ivies, is 801-900.
