Sure, it will.
The criteria for becoming No. 1 will be redefined to mean something far different than it does now.
That's like saying you will redefine the best team in the NBA to be the New York Knicks, which hasn't even made the playoffs, let alone win a title for decades.
That's not how it works. Whether a school or a team is the best or not is something you can just change the definition for.
Merely redefining a terrible school so its now called the best school, doesn’t even come close to making it so.
