Huge changes in this year's ranking methodology,  and Wharton dropped out because of alumni boycotting the survey to punish the school for a poor response to the pandemic.

Yes, not having Wharton when they were number one last year... makes this ranking look foolish.
Plus, IESE. number 3 --> time to look at something else (but QS is even worse)... Hard times

IESE is not a surprise to me. Harvard founded IESE exactly to create an elite business school for the Spanish-speaking world, and its growing number of new campus locations (Madrid, Munich, New York, São Paulo) reflects its success. 
Poets and Quants has a great discussion on how the new method impacts the changes. https://poetsandquants.com/2023/02/12/financial-times-2023-mba-ranking/ 

PS this ranking makes *Wharton* look foolish, not the FT. Schools need 20% of alumni to respond, with a minimum of 20 people. Wharton failed because its alumni abstained exactly to punish the school. That's accountability, not foolishness.

You mean Columbia and IESE, not Colombia and Lese. Huge changes in this year's ranking methodology,  and Wharton dropped out because of alumni boycotting the survey to punish the school for a poor response to the pandemic.
