I was very surprised to see there were no Big 10 schools (other than Northwestern). I fully expected to see many Pac 10 and Ivy league schools.
Lastly, I was not all surprised to see the SEC was nonexistant, except for Vandy. That should not be a surprise to anyone.

It's almost entirely small "elite" schools. No surprise there wasn't a showing of many larger schools, because larger schools will have plenty of graduates bringing the average down.
It also has to do with popular majors at the school. Engineering is very popular at Bucknell and Lehigh, and engineers make a good amount of money. Therefore, Bucknell and Lehigh grads made it high on the list.
