How Good Is Your Football School? U.S. News & World Report Rankings by 134 FBS Teams

They're sort of flawed, they don't tell the whole story, and they have way too much influence - college is what you make of it. But they're also the ones everyone who cares about these things live for.

They're the U.S. News & World Report rankings of the best colleges , and for our purposes, the rankings of the top national universities.

Fine, so Princeton is No. 1, MIT No. 2, and Harvard No. 3. But can they ball like Stanford?

There are 134 colleges and universities who play football at the FBS level. From the U.S. News & World Report rankings , how do all of the top football school rankings shake out?

Out of the 134, 128 are considered national universities, and six are ranked among the regional schools - those are near the bottom, only because they aren't included in the big overall rankings.
