Where do we draw the line?Boston College is a NO, I would guess, because they are not a state University, and are a private catholic college. UCLA would classify, it is California in LA. Truth be told, there are about 70 or so flagship Universities that are either simply the state name, or "STATE" University ala UF, and FSU. The remainder of State Universities are all directional schools in some way, shape or form. So the easier way to classify is who's NOT to be included, then who is included.Go to Wisconsin, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Eau Claire, UW- Stevens Point...all directional, and all have good athletics in certains in their own right. UW-Milwaukee has had great basketball in the past, Stevens Point wrestling...There are probably 25 or so directional schools in California alone, Fresno State, UC- Santa Barbara...etc. But many don't have football either so that helps out.uhh, last i checked, "Fresno" is not a direction.there is a difference between a LOCATION and a DIRECTION.

Fresno State is really called California State University in Fresno.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he joking. Central Michigan is better than some BCS conference teams and I expect them to hang with Georgia for a half. Dan LeFevour is Tim Tebow lite and there are other offensive weapons besides just him. Defense is an issue, but if they played North Dakota State i'd definitely be taking Central Michigan be like 30.
