Low acceptance rate does not make a great school. Great faculty and great research output make great schools. Many of the large public research universities feature more prominent faculty and research output than smaller, more selective private schools, even though they may not appear selective based on undergraduate admission rates.
On a related note, it's kind of outrageous that Berkeley isn't on the list.
