"Refusing to play the ranking game" often hurts the college more than it helps the cause, so only colleges with little to nothing to lose do this (I know there are exceptions, but they are too few to make a difference). Yes, things might change in a few decades, but you still can't deny the fact that a Harvard or MIT education (while it might not be a whole lot better than Montana Tech's education, if at all) opens doors. Plus, it's generally less expensive than state and liberal arts schools.
