WHO WILL BE NUMBER ONE?

 

In the first USNews ranking (1987), Yale and Harvard tied for first. Since then, Yale has been the sole occupant of number one, impling Yale's score is 100 exactly, Harvard has 97.which indicates a SCORE between 96.5 and 97.5. Ipso facto, Yale's lead over Harvard is at least 2.5 and at most 3.5. Can Harvard make up the 2.5 to 3.5 difference in two or three years? It certainly is possible.
