AB  - In this paper we lay down a comparative framework for theorizing university rankings. In so do-ing, we wish to contextualize the analysis of university rankings within a broader sociology of rankings. We employ analogical theorizing to bring insights from the arts and sports fields into the study of university rankings. We identify two dimensions along which such theorizing could be done: (a) systematic, referring to the comparison of university rankings with rankings in other fields and focusing on how university rankings can be informed by insights from other em-pirical settings; and (b) historical, which concerns long-term trajectories, rather than just the last few years. This approach, we argue, can benefit both our understanding of university rank-ings and rankings more generally
