I was pretty surprised to see some of those (like U of Arizona, U of Utah) on the list, but not Brown or some other prestigious schools. I mean, UC Davis is a decent school, but one of the world's best?

All of the data seems ridiculously US skewed

Maybe cause some of the top universities are in the US?

Maybe because it's skewed. It doesn't help that it doesn't explain how they're ranked.

Edit: from reading the kaggle page it seems pretty subjective and is done by a private newspaper company in the UK.

Sure, some. But I seriously doubt the majority of the Top 50. Most of these Universities I've never heard of

Right, no Brown no Dartmouth… seems to be missing some Top Universities.

UC Davis is quite a bit bigger than either Brown or Dartmouth and has larger and similarly successful research programs. This is not an undergrad ranking, but overall university role.
