Actuarial Science
Non-competitive majors should be featured more prominently as significant to the prestige of a college or university. It has become clear to me that very competitive majors such as business and psychology are more commonly featured, where more advanced majors such as actuarial science and aerospace engineering are largely ignored for lack of popularity. Clearly popularity should be irrelevant in more challenging majors. Majors that would should merit the faculty and program of a particular school more than the prototype. Certainly a good program in actuarial science (averaging 3 exams per graduate) is worth more than many excellent programs in the ever-popular business sector.
2010 rankings
I wonder where your Ivy League biased rankings will fall after this year's applications for the class of 2013 where Stanford had more applications than Harvard, Yale and Princeton, an acceptance rate equal to Harvard and Yale, and a far lower acceptance rate than Princeton ( 7% versus 12% ). In additon, none of the aforementioned Ivies have an engineering program even remotely close to that of Stanford while Stanford is ranked at the level of Caltech and MIT for its strength and breadth of engineering programs - witness Google, Yahoo, HP, SUN Microsystems. Stanford also offers a liberal arts education competitive with any of the Ivies.
If one looks beyond academics and at sports, none of the other top ten schools in your rankings offer the same level of student athletic performance. Stanford has won the NCAA Governor's cup for the past 14 years in a row, 2nd all-time NCAA championships and most NCAA championships since 1980.

Faculty Awards
What specific awards for faculty are weighted into the faculty equation?
Online programs
I am not sure why universities offering online courses such as the Walden uni is not included in the general ranking of universities. The online ranking and the general acreditation makes such universities inline with others if I am not wrong
Number of Transfer Students
From the category heading, I was not sure if the number of Transfer Students was measuring the number of students that had transferred into that school or the number of students that had transferred out of that school to another school.
So 1) You might consider making that a little more clearer somehow. Both measures would be valuable for different purposes to some of your readers.
3) I am not sure if the data set is available to do the analysis, but the other measure I mentioned above, i.e. The number of students that a school has that transfer to another institution, would be a useful ranking. This is especially true with the economic situation driving more four year students to community colleges. So, which community colleges are sending the most students out to four year schools. would be the question. Just a thought.
