Miami OH is a pretty great school though and Drake matches very well with the other Big East schools. But Lawrence College, James Madison, and Hendrix? Come on.
Marquette and St. Louis got hit pretty hard here. Going from top 100 to 176 and 206. Seems uber-small lib arts schools and the "regional" ranked schools from USNWR got a lot of respect. DePaul at 300+ also seems ridiculous.

I'm not saying they're not good schools, in fact I strongly considered Drake as a possible school. I am very familiar with their strengths and I liked them very much as a school. I picked Marquette because, after doing the research, I found it to be a better option. It's not overly important in any event. Just one more list, you look around enough and you'll find one that puts your school where you want it.
