Apologies for my bad sarcasm

They still do. Some others too (UIUC MFE, UNC Charlotte, NYU Tandon, Lehigh MFE just to name a few). It's good marketing to use important metric like rankings (see USNews rankings) but when the rankings are clearly bogus as to laughable, it may have the opposite effect.
