But the other rankings are modest side projects for entities whose main business is elsewhere -- eg the Times Higher Education Supplement which probably has the best ranking. It also has the nice point of covering the world instead of just one country.
And how good can rankings get, anyway? There's always a huge error bar, so being the 20th best vs the 40th best institution is meaningless. All the rankings tell us that Harvard and MIT and Stanford are very good and some place you've never heard of us rubbish.
