Many business school faculties and class sizes are so small, that the rankings should not be trusted beyond the top 10 to 15 places or so. The rest of the ranking is just useless noise. A couple of key faculty members moving from one finance department to another could make the rankings jump like crazy. Next, since the faculties in most business phd programs are so small, you ABSOLUTELY have to examine their resumes, what they're doing, etc if you're trying to decide where to apply or enroll. Even when some ranking says that two schools have the same rank, your personal evaluation will probably be such that one school clearly dominates the other.. so I don't know why people from these forums bother with these rankings really.
