I was at the Oregon St game last week and didn't mind the loss for that very reason. Though it was one of the most painful games I've ever sat through.

I'm curious to know how NYU is going to do these days. They have the reputation of being just a finance school so I wonder what will draw people to that school now (except for the very obvious geographic reason).



Yeah, same way, I drove up for the Cal game too. Either way I wasn't all that sad for the lost because they all have good chances of taking the PAC-10. So right now it's Oregon st. Plus can't wait for UCLA to beat USC is the WORLD's BIGGEST UPSET, (not really, Michigan vs App St will probably be #1 for a while)

I've wondered about NYU and columbia about how the collapse affected them.

Also, am I the only person who feels weird referring to Chicago as "BSB"? That reminds me of the Backstreet Boys to be honest :P


ditto. i'm worried this will tarnish the global reputation that the backstreet boys have built over the last decade. brilliant move by chicago though to try & build off that BSB brand!

This method just seems so unprofessional. Announcing the next 30 schools in chat style one-liners?

Yea, interesting to see Yale SOM drop so far. Incidentally, their average GMAT had increase to 720 or so too.

Don't know about east coast bias, Rochester Simon is nowhere to be found while SMU and BYU leapfrog Yale(can't be too happy with this). I'll definitely wager that Yale can still out-drink them.

Duke, Cornell and Indiana the big winners here, it's hard to move up in the top 15, even a spot, and they did so.

Was there ever an assertion of East Coast Bias in the BW rankings? There are 3 Midwest schools in the top 5.
