Bu, Bu, But CU is in the Kingdom of Boulder, the most liberal elitist town around. Boulder bought up land on the edge for greenbelt so it couldn't sprawl. So go vertical? Nah, it took Google years to get permission to build three 4-story buildings... all that density.
Just for grins I found
this post which is from 2016 and lists CU 45th and ASU 54th but I wouldn't be embarrassed. They've long had a rep for Aerospace (not unlike UofA) and bio-science but I'd guess that with ASU's growth their overall engineering is now at least 50% larger than CU's. CU does have a good Med School but that's because they were smart enough to place it in Denver, lol.
In the dozen years I've been 'down here' ASU has done amazing things. I have noted how Michael Crow has enhanced their rep by buying/recruiting some well-known talent.
PHXFlyer11 is right that their business school is highly regarded. But overall I'd agree with
Obadno that it's more important to educate the state's citizens in general than worry about ratings.
