Rankings and reputation are interrelated, but not the same thing. For example, rankings punish large class sizes, but well known professors like Larry Smith command 500+ person classes; simultaneously reducing rankings while improving reputation. I would argue that McGill hits the right numbers, and certainly has a great law program, but it is middle of the road in terms of reputation.
