Good to see Duke atop these rankings and happy to see Notre dame next.

Odd to see UNC with only a 130 graduation rate ranking giving all their special programs...

If you don't have to attend class or do work to get class credit, how can you fail to graduate??????

Duke and Notre Dame actually tied for the #1 spot (both with "power scores" of 15). Interestingly, if they used the most recent U.S. News rankings (which came out last month), Duke and ND still would have tied since Duke moved up to #8 and ND to #17.

Wait... USN&WR already uses graduation rate (of the overall student body) in its rankings. And this dealie has a separate category for student-athlete graduation rate. So there's a bit of autocorrelation here.
