We're not 65th in North America. If you look at the left-most column, you'll see that they provide the world rank, not the rank for North America. By my count, we're 40th in North America.

• 87th in "Research (Volume, Income, and Reputation)"
• 69th in "Citations (Research Influence)"

I don't get how we're "65th" in the world, AND "65th" in North America. It's not like there aren't any higher-ranked universities outside of North America. Just by taking a glance at the charts, there are at least 5 UK universities there.

I'd like to see how we fare the subject-based categories but unfortunately they aren't released yet.

Different rankings have different criteria to determine where universities fall. It's a pretty subjective issue
