I lied. There is one P12 school ranked below Alabama.
Pac 12 combined with Big 10
#3 Stanford
#9 Northwestern
#15 Cal and UCLA (tied)
#21 Michigan
#28 USC
#35 Ilinois and Wisconsin (tied)
#40 Rutgers and Washington (tied)
#43 Buck and Purdue (tied)
#46 Maryland
#53 Minnesota
#60 Michigan State and Pedo State (tied)
#73 Indiana
#93 Iowa
#98 Oregon
#105 ASU and Buff (tied)
#115 The Fighting Fafitas and Ute (tied)
#142 Beav (hi Benny)
#159 Nebraska
#178 Cuog
As I said, the current US News formula was tweaked because Cal was paying a price in the rankings for things that really are drawbacks to going there. One of my kids almost pulled the trigger but made a better decision IMO. They'll play with the algorithm again and the public schools will slide … again.
In fact, in my travels with and among many of the most severe boasters, it is usually the hard science and math people who think of themselves as being more qualified and deserving to be alive and breathe air. Mind you, among my children are some heavy quants, so I don't have an axe to grind.
That said, you have not lived until you have sparred with an MIT math person. Among that crowd, there are more than a few who actually believe that they are Plato's philosopher kings and the rest of us should just follow their lead in every aspect of running a society - and not just on quant matters. It is my experience with that crowd that makes the rise of the Third Reich a lot less mysterious in its origin story than it once was for me.
The social science people are usually a lot more grounded. Especially so these days.
But we are generalizing from about 100,000 feet. I've known an asshole or two in every demographic you care to mention.
Also, majoring in music is not easy. In fact, back in the day before comp sci was a separate major, companies used to recruit music majors because they tended to display acumen for picking up computer language and programing, which makes sense if you think know a bit about how music is studied. As a group, they are also known to do well on the LSAT, which is heavy on logical reasoning. I'll bet @haie can share a bit on this.

people that usually boast about academic standing are usually the music majors, sociology, not the hard core majors
I have not found that to be the case. At all.

the MITers do have huge egos, yes
I love academic smack talk
You love PFF (elite) smack talk.
Where do MY Carson Cougs rank on your polls?
So does Coach Fisch, I love sweet sweet vindication
Makes sense to me.
The best programmer I've hired/worked with that had little prior experience was a linguistics major who went to Mizzou.
if we’re bashing dumb cunts I’m out
Sometimes?
