What’s your say regarding the ranking?

MSG Team.
This looks like a fairly balanced ranking.
The big problem is, how do these ranking bodies determine the top universities?
What are their judgement paramenters?
I know very well that most of the ranking bodies do not visit all the universities in Nigeria to have first hand information about structures and academic processes, how do they arrive at these lists every year? I also saw a similar list on scholarsarena.net though with though with little variations.
