Those rankings are crap - Northern Illinois gets an advantage because it's general student population is worse than that of Stanford and Notre Dame.

Fortunately, the author points out the flawed methodology towards the end.
There's a difference between academics and the level of the students. Academics are the same for every undergrad so this ranking is dumb.

It looks like a bit of a naive ranking, with numerous potential flaws (you do not do too well if 90% of black players graduate when 95% of blacks graduate overall). As was mentioned, the quality of the reference point matter too much in a variety of different ways for this too be too useful.
this is stupid
