You mention "USA has 300 million" and "Rankings favor very big universities". It seems that academics should push to have some indexes normalized between countries, based on the number of University students (which would mitigate the issues you properly raise).

@ToddBooth As far as I'm aware, academics are not involved in creating these rankings and largely do not care about them (unless some funding body decides to use them to decide where to allocate funds).
