Why does anyone care about rankings?

Simply put, no!\n\nRankings have come to prominence over the last couple of years but no-one really takes them seriously. It's difficult to say that a system that puts the USA in fourth just because they win more games that teams like Italy, England, Ukraine etc, whose qualifying competitions are always much harder due to the depth of European football.

It's rude, but it doesn't really matter because if they don't rate it, it gives other people the chance to rate it, though it is kinda rude I agree. But it is in the best interest of the person because if they ask a question and don't rate the best answer, they don't get they're 2 points they lost when they asked the question in the first place.

Yes, Popularity doesn't mean nothing to me.\nI'll rather be recognized for doing the right thing, than for just being popular.

No.  It should be hard to get a high ranking.  That way a high ranking actually means something.\n\nIf points were easy, they wouldn't have any meaning what so ever.

it is up to you.  the question is, Do You care?  sounds like you do care, but really don't want to.  it is a natural drive in humans to over come obstacles and compete with others.

It was supposed to be for Status, so that when you answer a question, people will regard you as knowledgeable, but people answer questions quickly and rudely just to gain points, so it really means nothing. Check out some of the answers to the Leaders...alot of them just answer stupid answers.

It depends.  The rankings for undergrad programs are just plain and simple made up, or might as well be.  Too many factors, too much shady dealing, too much of, well, trying to sell issues of the magazine.  Funny how colleges that refuse to even let US News & World Reports on their campus still wind up in the "survey results."  You are also trying to compare fundementally different programs without taking those differences into consideration.\n\nThe Graduate program rankings fair a little better, because there you can at least compare department to department and not try to reduce the entire school down to a number.\n\nIn short, the graduate rankings have some meaning, but you can pretty much replicate the undergrad rankings by conducting a person on the street survey.\n\nOne of the better undergraduate surveys that I have found was "Colleges that Change Lives."  It winds up being a very usefull tool for a couple of reasons.  First it doesn't assign any points, it simply talks about each of the colleges it is surverying, and secondly it is very narrow in focus, in this case really indroducing one to the world of small, personable liber arts colleges.  Obviously if one is looking to go to a big school, for any number of fine reasons this list is not for them, but it is a list that at least does it right.

Really, why should you care? Celebrities are just people like you and me..I don't understand to fixation on fame. There are too many celebrities glorified for the wrong reasons.
