Best paper awards correlated to highest subjective rankings of CS departments? No surprise here. like I said earlier these best paper awards are really an Ivy League circle jerk which is also evident based on that the top schools only hire each others grads students or worse their own! CS academia has been devoid of any new ideas for decades, also because the brightest minds work in industry where the Googles/Microsofts/Apples couldn't care less if you graduated with an Ivy League degree.
