For Michigan, I would guess that's because of the criteria that they base the overall score on:
Average Freshman Retention Rate, 2004 ** I know an awful lot of freshman don't make it past freshman year at Michigan
Faculty Resources Rank, *** Michigan has a lot of HUGE classes and undergrad courses are often taught by GAs/TAs rather than full time professors
% of classes under 20 in 2004,
% of classes with 50 or more in 2004,
Student/Faculty Ratio 2004,
% of faculty who are full-time 2004,
