Wrong glass, Sir.
Top 30 According to USNWR (publics bolded). Given our endowment and freshmen selectivity, there's no reason that we shouldn't be top 20. The engineering college is grossly under performing relative to the other core colleges (humanities, social sciences, sciences, business) of the university.

Football is 100% physical, 100% mental.
This methodology seems fraught with potential bias.
The U.S. News rankings of the undergraduate engineering programs accredited by ABETare based solely on the judgments of deans and senior faculty at peer institutions.
U.S. News surveyed engineering school deans and faculty members in spring 2018 and asked them to rate each program they were familiar with on a scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished) for these rankings. Two peer assessment surveys were sent to each ABET-accredited engineering program.

When I researched programs a couple years ago I came across a website that broke down acceptance rates, avg and min GRE scores (quant), total funding, funding/student, faculty awards, etc. for most of the major schools. It was quite illuminating.
Again, for publics, nobody was holding a candle to Purdue or GTech in terms of quality accepted and the large amount of funding/research opportunities available to those accepted.
Could even see how MIT and CalTech took very different approaches. The former having a somewhat larger budget, but accepting a much larger pool. The latter accepting a very selective pool. But both had comparable funding per student (CalTech slightly higher) and similar average GRE scores.
Ohio State unfortunately does take a back seat overall. But, as I alluded to earlier - it has a lot more to do with where you fall. Practically anyone can enroll for a MS at MIT or GTech w/o funding support -- or limited to grading papers -- the guy working on LIBs at Dalhousie will be far better off with the experience.

Wrong glass, Sir.
If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, the once a decade NRC doctoral rankings are the best way to judge a department's quality. While they're rankings of Ph.D programs, I think the pecking order would hold for their undergraduate quality.
Out of what I consider to be any university's core colleges, I'd list arts and sciences (humanities, social sciences, physical sciences and biological sciences), engineering, business, law and medicine.
Out of these, I'd definitely say that, at Ohio State, engineering and biological sciences are lagging behind the rest.

I agree, ORD. Ohio State must put on its Big Boy Pants and get moving in engineering and biological sciences. The nexus of those disciplines has produced life-like (albeit, not yet intelligent) organisms. Things are moving fast and there's no time to lose.

Not very many of us saw it Saturday, since their game was also on at noon, but $75 million man Jimbo gave a brilliant 4th quarter performance at Auburn.
Up 24-14 with the ball in Auburn territory and about 10 minutes left, this happens:
Two incomplete passes followed by a missed field goal, the ball wasn't centered and was kicked just wide.
A defensive stop that drove Auburn back near their own goal line, and a punt that got aTm the ball back at the Auburn 45.
A quick interception, followed by an Auburn scoring drive.
A short drive and a punt followed by a game-winning Auburn TD drive.
Does anybody think Jim Tressel would have lost that 10-point lead in the last 10 minutes?

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
In emails, A&M president says rekindling rivalry with Texas ‘unlikely’
In mid-January, Texas A&M president Michael Young, along with his University of Texas counterpart, Greg Fenves, both very publicly stated that they were very much in favor of rekindling the Aggies-Longhorns football rivalry. “We’re supportive of renewing it. Absolutely. We have been from Day One,” Young proclaimed at the time.
In emails obtained by the Dallas Morning News, however, Young painted an entirely different picture in the ensuing days. From the Morning News‘ report:
We have no plans to renew the rivalry game at this time for very practical reasons,” Young wrote on Jan. 22.
…
The topic is of interest to many for or against and we’re open to the discussion in line with what is best for the schools,” Young [wrote]. “There are a variety of reasons that this will be unlikely to happen, including separate conference schedules and scheduling many years out.

Re: UT has Power Five non-conference games scheduled out through 2030, A&M through 2028
FWIW, A & M plays Clemson (2019), Colorado (2020 & 2021), Miami (2022 & 2023), Notre Dame (2024 & 2025), and Arizona Stae (2026 & 2027).

What happened to my ¤cash?
This is completely false. Having been on both sides of graduate admissions, I can attest to the fact that, there are schools who are well known for building their graduate programs at the expense of the undergraduate programs.
