They ranked 650 universities. None of us made the top half of the list, and only FAU cracked the top 500. Most of these don't look too good to me.

Arkansas State and ULM didn't even get ranked! I don't know if that is bad news, or really bad news.

#490- FAU
#520- FIU
#545- USA
#574- UNT
#577- WKU
#580- MTSU
#590- ULL
#628- UALR
#636- Troy

#403 Georgia State
#558 Texas State
# 560 UT-Arlington

I don't think there is a massive amount of difference between 0-50, 51-100, 101-200, 201-600, unranked.

I can't remember why, but I know that our administration has publicly complained about our (these) ranking(s) before. Can't remember the reasoning, but they had some sort of justification for a complaint. Maybe something about younger universities being penalized? And subsequently, typically lower alumni involvement and contributions than compared to longer established schools.
