I agree, I really enjoy all the compilation posts regulus has been making. They are all very informative and cool to see.

Good get! Thanks that was very interesting. Never knew Harvard was once #5 and that Penn has been #6 or #7 for 9 out of the last 10 years. There were a few other noteworthy stats too. . . thx.

Just realized that in 1987, the top 14 was different, as in Cornell & NW were absent from the T-14 (if I am reading this right.... if I am, wonder who dropped out).

They changed the formula between y1 and y2. Michigan didn't get worse all of a sudden.

This is what I've heard. If you look lots of schools change drastically -- Harvard goes from 2 to 5, Chicago from 6 to 2, etc. Michigan is just the most obvious since 1987 is its brief moment in the glory of HYS HYM

Those jumps were from '87 to '90 . . . no idea what happened between '88-'89.

As far as I can tell there were no rankings between 87 and 90.

I find it puzzling that there were no ’88-’89 rankings, but it is possible, I suppose. Neither Google or Bing has a record on ’88-’89. Hmmmm….

They just may not have intended the rankings to be annual from the start - USNWR ranks other grad programs, but it's not annual - more like every 5 years.
