Speaking of which... isn't it kinda wierd that so many in the top 100 are from California [1]?

It makes me wonder why we count campuses as separate in the rankings.

If you have a monolithic system as many universities in Europe do, you'd be penalized for it.

Note that the criteria are weighted heavily towards luminary faculty and not towards student results.
