USNew.com changed its meaningless formula for the college rankings significantly this year…

…and lawprof Derek Muller (Notre Dame) speculates about whether this portends further changes to the law school rankings.  I'll just note that in the 1990s, US News (back when they were still an actual magazine, not a website) used to include average starting salaries of graduates, but then dropped that since it had more to do with geography (e.g., does a school place mostly in the NYC area?) than with the success of the school or its graduates.
