a couple of years ago i saw an academic ranking of british universities.sheffield was the best with oxford and cambridge around 20th place.
so maybe you're right that oxford is different from yale
I've seen a lot of university rankings, and I've never seen one that looked like that. If you had a link it would be useful, but pretty much every ranking I've seen has had Oxford and Cambridge as the two top British universities.
It's funny. I hadn't started University, and I was accepted at Sheffield to study AI. Now, I arranged to meet a hypertext legend to help him with a recent project, and I ended up having Christmas dinner with this guy, and some of the faculty and the head of computer science at Sheffield.
Something tells me it would have been better going to Sheffield than going to this local University just for this reason, but we all make mistakes.
As it happens, I became friendly with the head of computer science at my local University choice, for doing well in a computer trivia quiz.

Example: http://www.arwu.org/rank/2007/ARWU2007_Top100.htm with Cambridge 4th, Oxford tenth and Sheffield in place 72, just ahead of the University of Arizona.
