I'm surprised that Patrick Henry College in VA did not make the cut:
It's a relatively new school but will definitely make the cut sometime next year as it earns mroe reputation.
It is one of the most Home School friendly colleges in the country and its students are beginning to be recognized for their quality
Recently, The Patrick Henry College debate team closed out the Crossfire division at the initial National Educational Debate Association [NEDA] tournament of the season, October 6 and 7, at St. Peters College in New Jersey. In that competition, PHC swept the Crossfire preliminaries and ended up winning first place awards in both Team Debate and Speaker Award categories.
Then, the first week of November, the PHC team again took first place at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, winning the first place Team Award in Crossfire and the first place Club Award for overall performance. In that contest the Crossfire award went to Daniel Hebda and Andrew Tyrell, who went undefeated in all six rounds.
Heck, their debating team even beat the team of Oxford University if you will believe it. See here :
