(in no order)
Cambridge
Harvard
University of London (LSE, UCL, Kings etc)
Oxford
Sorbonne (Paris).

I do not deny the Sorbonne's reputation (probably the oldest of the whole bunch). However, putting it 5th here is totally wrong. It should not even be in this ranking. It is so wrong to put the Sorbonne among the world's top universities... Graduate or undergrad same story. You're probably some stupid american who spent a summer in Paris trying to get laid and thought the creme de la creme was going to la Sorbonne. Anyway I guess you didn't do any research work on the other universities either, which really sounds bad for your ranking.
It's also rather stupid to do a ranking without taking into account the various subjects and specializations.
