How does your academic reputation stack up against them? The national universities list is for schools offering doctorates. Creighton and Drake didn't throw together a couple of Ph D. programs so they could be within 80 names of Harvard. If I had chosen to attend a Jesuit school (wild horses couldn't have dragged me), I would have picked Creighton over St. Louis.
