Great points. I think one of those charts, though, is incorrect: the one right above the “What’s going on?” header. The numbers don’t look right: Penn State has the almost identical SAT scores as Harvard? The scores listed on Penn State’s website are dramatically different: 1270-1450 for their top campus, not 1450-1560. Other scores listed look right. My guess for the mistake is they swapped it with University of Pennsylvania, for which I found 1440-1560 and 1500 average scores in one source but isn’t on the list. Regardless, I weep for today’s students on this academic treadmill.

Yeah that’s gotta be it, nice catch!
