Saw this the yesterday, but just now getting to post it. A&M ranks #13, according to MONEY Magazine, based upon educational quality, affordability, and alumni success. Nothing most of us don't already recognize, but it's nice when a 3rd party concurs.
Finally, Alabama is last in the SEC in something

LSU ranks No. 349 among 705 colleges on the Time.com/MONEY.com 2016 list of the best universities in the U.S.
The only SEC schools ranked in the top 25 are No. 13 Texas A&M and No. 15 Florida. The league had four schools in the top 100.
Alabama is the current national champion in football, but the school is dead last in the SEC on the best universities list at No. 642.
MONEY's screening process removed schools with graduation rates below the median, financial difficulties, or fewer than 500 undergraduates.
The remaining 705 colleges were ranked on 24 factors in three categories: educational quality, affordability, and alumni success.
Also, MONEY measured comparative value, by assessing how well students at each school did vs. what's expected for students with similar economic and academic backgrounds, and the college's mix of majors.
