New CUG 2019 Computer Science Rankings

Occasionally.

But most of the time, no. Probably why I'm not going to a Uni on that list.

I'm skeptical of St Andrews being that high on any metric other than general prestige - especially given both Edinburgh and Glasgow, which are far more notable for their CS/informatics departments and research, are not present at all. Similarly I find UCL a bit questionable, since I never got the impression their CS department was very strong (maybe the new-ish Mathematical Computation programme and people taking options in Arts & Sciences have bolstered it a bit...), although it's being further down the list does seem more or less in line with this (other than the absence of Edinburg and/or Glasgow...).

I personally feel Oxford's CS department, drawing on the expertise of it's Mathematics, Philosophy, and Physics departments/faculties for their undergraduate courses and teaching, may be a notch higher than Cambridge...a rare concession from me since I like Cambridge a lot more in general

Otherwise it seems broadly in line with my expectations at least...

CompSci grads from St Andrews do pretty well, salary-wise though

Well those stats are 3 years old now, and salary isn't the only relevant relevant consideration...from an academic research perspective I would rate Glasgow and Edinburgh above it. For starters I actually know about some of those two unis' research in the area already without needing to specifically look at their webpages...
