Any list that has Cal Tech at number one over Harvard,Pricnceton,Yale and even Stanford is not a list worthy of my attention.
I mean really.Arizona State University is ranked 172 in the U.S. by U.S. News but 148 by your link.How is it higher than Georgetown?ASU is one of the Top 10 party schools in the U.S. as ranked by Playboy Magazine and #2 by Fiesta Frog.LOL. This is got to be the most craziest list ever. National University Rankings | Top National Universities | US News Best Colleges
Why? Caltech's got a pretty good argument for why it should be first, though different lists have different methodologies. I'd definitely respect a Caltech degree overall more than one from Harvard, Princeton, Yale or Stanford especially for undergrads. Most undergrads from these schools will be pretty bright, but Caltech and MIT are the ones who have ones that are most likely to be brilliant.
I'd like to ask more about Midwestern food. What are some of the more distinctive parts of it? For Great Lakes states, is there much that revolves around "lakefood" as one would expect coastal areas of the South to have a pretty good focus on seafood? What are some of these lakefood dishes besides frying up some fish? Is there any good edible shellfish from the great lakes or aquatic plants? I know there's wild rice in lake paddies, but what else? Also, what are some interesting dishes?
The sad part is the Midwest actually holds its own against the ENTIRE south.. the southeast or the southwest doesn't stand a chance against the north as whole...

Cal Tech IS a great school but look at the entire list.It has some schools over schools no one would EVER suggest were better.
No survey of American based list of schools has any similarities with that list at all.
AHHHH NOOOOOO, don't bring up meth!! I think Illinois, Missouri and Indiana lead the country in meth making lol. Our rural areas can sometimes leave a lot to be desired.

I am not suggesting that Caltech is better. I'm saying that it is. Caltech might have a small class size and a focus on stems, but if you're asking about the quality of the education and research done there, then Caltech is absolutely a contender. I don't understand the contention that it's not--though, like I said, I do understand different methodologies for measuring schools.
Anyhow, wherever this topic is going. I can understand the argument for the Midwest having a larger roster of great universities than the South. I think most of the big rankings systems are going to have more top twenty or top fifty schools in the US from the Midwest than from the South.
However, none of this has anything to do with what I was asking about fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants in the Great Lakes and how they are eaten, so this isn't that interesting. I'm also interested in other interesting foods. I recently had a St. Louis style pizza. I liked it a lot--the provel cheese was interesting.
Well that is just the ones that have been discovered/busted.
I think we just have superior law enforcement because only 32 for the entire state of Texas? Looks like cops in Texas couldn't find snow in the middle of freezing winter.

Why exactly would you think its common in Texas? Playing on stereotypes?

So Texas is at "32" but it's probably THE #1 state for drug smuggling in this country (or tied with Florida)? Perhaps those numbers don't paint the best picture for where drugs are a "problem"....

You are the one that brought up meth.Other drugs come in from everywhere they can grow it.That naturally is South.

Its not about Cal Tech.Its about the validity of the entire list.Cal Tech of course is a fantastic school. Im not suggesting it is so much less or more than the schools mentioned.
If the others schools like Arizona State were less than Georgetown in rank and other schools that are placed high in the list were lower ,then its my opinion that if those things seem odd then why Cal Tech in front of other traditional schools in which every American list ranks higher?
Im not trying to minnimize the importance of how great Cal Tech is,only that thier are SO many irregular schools not normally ranked as they are on the Worlds Ranking list.
