UC Hastings trailed Florida State by ten votes, and Alabama trailed Hastings by 3 votes.
Unfortunately, this looks a lot like the U.S. News overall rank, which is a nonsense number, although there are notable exceptions: e.g., NYU coming out ahead of Columbia, but also places like George Mason, Brooklyn, and Florida State (but San Diego not making the top 50 was a sign of the pernicious influence of US News). You can get an idea of which school's voters tried to get a strategic advantage by ranking their school ahead of Yale, as 6 voters for Brooklyn and Cardozo each did (while only 2 Fordham voters did so). Condorcet largely washes out that kind of voting, but it may have some effect, I can't say for sure.
What's really needed is a survey that presents evaluators with faculty lists, rather than school names–perhaps down the line! Or if someone else wants to try it, I can help publicize and/or offer advice.
I disagree with the perspectives described here and wrote with my co-authors on the very real catastrophic potential of AI…
