So out of a roughly 52,000 student enrollment, at a 68% rate makes 35,360 graduates at OSU alone, to say nothing of the other local institutions, including Columbus State Community College, which has 23,000 students enrolled.
I still say, something ain't right with that study....

The link provided by AKA2D makes a point of stating that some of the cities listed have a high percentage of individuals holding a batchelor's degree
or higher. I don't believe that Columbus State would fall under those parameters since it's a community college. Where does Columbus stand in terms of people who go on to pursue other degrees after receiving their bachelors?
I believe it should be noted that the link you provided states that "Ohio State graduation rate continues to climb -- The university's
six-year graduation rate has risen to 68 percent; up from 55 percent just five years ago." That may not stand in the schools favor if it's being compared to institutions where the percentage of students graduating are just as high but they are doing it in less time (four years v. six years).
