University rankings are mainly driven by their research impact which does not directly correlate with the quality of their undergrads.

Would be great if this was true but they are using many factors. When I actually sorted by research impact I got a quite different ranking the last time I checked

QS World University rankings assigns 40% to Academic reputation, and 20% to Citations per faculty, so it's pretty dominant.
