****Every one of the top ten Phd programs ranked by google was ranked 26th OR ABOVE by the Gourmet. Any thoughts about this correlation?
I wouldn't take Google's rankings very seriously as a way to chose a school (it's just methodologically problematic) but when compared to the other two giants there are some interesting overlaps. There are two established program ranking systems: Academic Analytics’ Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index, and Brian Leiter’s Philosophical Gourmet ranking. This is a comparison between the these two accepted systems and Google's university rankings based on their algorithm for page ranking.
Notes: 1. The Philosophical Gourmet Report Ranks the top 50 programs. Next to Google's rankings is a comparison to the Gourmet's. Sited like this: "[Gourmet ranking: 22]" Where they agree on Top Ten: Google, Analytics and Gourmet Rutgers Princeton Google and Gourmet MIT Stanford Columbia Rutgers Princeton UC, Berkeley [Almost made it, Gourmet ranking: 11] Google and Analytics Rutgers Princeton Analytics and Gourmet Rutgers Princeton Google rankings from: |

Note: The Philosophical Gourmet Report only "ranks" Phd programs. Google includes BA and MA only institutions in their rankings and one of the top ten is a BA only (#2 Earlham College ) and one a MA only(#8 Tufts University). A fair comparison would include two more on Google's Phd rankings.
