Online Doctoral degrees w/ strings attached, can you help?

I think perhaps it used to, but the last page of this year's National Universities ranking ends with tier two schools, and two "unranked" schools after that.

The thing is, with things split up among national universities, national liberal arts colleges, and various regional categories, none of this is much help for those interested in what might be a good fit for them as an undergraduate, and it's even less meaningful for prospective grad students.

Also, I disagree that the schools on the National Universities list are the only ones that matter. The National Liberal Arts Colleges category has many schools where most parents would be delighted to be able to send their kids. And don't discount the regional lists either, for example James Madison University in Virginia, which is very well regarded here, is on the list of Regional Universities in the South. Interestingly, JMU is on that list even though it offers doctoral programs, so that's not an automatic qualifier for the National Universities category.
