On a quick glance, several of them are actual top-tier universities across a wide range. But it depends on what program. APA Clinical Psychology programs might not have a brilliant neuropsychology program or experimental research. For instance, Princeton University is ranked by US News as #7 in Psychology (#3 Social Psychology) but they have no clinical psych program!

 

If you really feel that rankings are a good gauge for programs, look at rankings in each psychology discipline.  US News site might help you narrow by specialty area a bit better.
