While the odds makers have made Florida State more than a touchdown
favorite over Auburn in the Jan. 6 BCS Championship game, US News and
World Report refuses to give FSU a similar advantage when it comes to
academic rankings.
In the most recent
ranking of the nation’s top public universities, released earlier this
year, FSU and Auburn were tied at No. 40. Among all institutions, both
public and private, the two schools were again tied, this time at No.
91.
If Seminole fans are looking for momentum — and surely they are — this is where the timelines favor Florida State.
FSU
President Eric Barron has laid out a plan to move his university into
the top 25 within five years, a plan that relies on FSU’s new-found
preeminence status and the $15 million a year in additional funding that
comes with it. In the past two years, FSU has climbed from No. 46 to
No. 40.
