I came across this Nature paper on academic hiring networks (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05222-x). According to their data visualizer (https://larremorelab.github.io/us-faculty/), a department's prestige rank is "measure of its ability to place its graduates at other prestigious universities." I am wondering if the ranking below rings true to your own impressions of the relative strengths of classics departments. 

This list is drawn from here: https://larremorelab.github.io/us-faculty/hiring-flows/Field/classics-and-classical-languages/
