NRC physics ranking by research output

I was pleasantly surprised by the recent NRC rankings of physics departments. In the research output ranking, UO did quite well. NRC uses a sophisticated statistical method that gives a range of possible outcomes.

In the list below I would say MIT and Stanford deserve higher ratings, and UO is (alas) ranked higher than it deserves. Once you get beyond the top 10 or so physics departments, there are many good programs across the country, and it's hard to differentiate between them.
