The rankings are not in alphabetical order if there are ties for a spot, so, actually, Harvard is #1 and Princeton is #2 -- statistical difference between the two nonexistent.

They are in alphabetical order; it's just alphabetized by full name (so Stanford University is before University of Pennsylvania, etc)
