Hey, US News did not numerically rank national universities beyond 50. After the top 50, the universities are listed alphabetically. That's why "American" was listed 52nd, and "Fordham" was listed 124th. As you were counting down to see where Fordham was listed, didn't you notice that, quite remarkably, the schools were "ranked" precisely in alphabetical order? What a coincidence!
