Again, Purdue has zero worthwhile Mathematicians remaining - the last one recently retired. It's famous for shunting a tenured professor's salary to zero *and* chasing off one of the few black professors it had. Meanwhile, UC Boulder and RPI's professors put out decent research routinely and do not similarly have these issues.

Harvard, Yale and Princeton are famous for producing garbage students - I often see employers refuse to hire students from those institutes. The research might be reasonably good, but their reputation in industry is questionable.

The rankings are poor even if you assume the things you're saying. The only thing I can imagine causing these rankings to be so skewed is bribery.
