Message: [QUOTE="jfuchs91, post: 1711034, member: 276"] This reminds me of a post I saw on CSN about the "qualities" of a P5 school, which I think bodes pretty well for UConn. The poster gave a [URL='http://csnbbs.com/thread-781130-post-13301279.html#pid13301279']good breakdown[/URL]: [I]"Here's a breakdown of the 65 P5 schools: 33 are the flagship university of their state (don't tell me your state legislature has designated five schools as flagships. Except for New York, every state has a single university that is the clear flagship). 13 are land grant universities that are not their state's flagship university. 6 are public urban research universities that are clearly the number 2 (or number 1)public university in their state, in states whose flagship is also their land grant university. (UCLA, Florida St., Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, Arizona St., and Louisville). Texas is the only state with three public universities in the P5, with Texas Tech being neither a flagship nor a land grant. 12 are private universities. Each of these is in the USNWR top 100 (TCU is the lowest ranked at #82). Two are in states with no public university in the P5 (Syracuse and BC). Two are in states with only one public university in the P5 (Northwestern and Vanderbilt). Six are in the four most populous states (USC, Stanford, Baylor, TCU, Miami and Syracuse). One is the highest ranked Catholic university in the country (Notre Dame, USNWR #18). Two are in the USNWR top ten (Stanford and Duke). Three others are in the USNWR top twenty (Northwestern, Vanderbilt and Notre Dame). Three others are in the USNWR top thirty (USC, Wake Forest and BC). The FBS schools outside the P5 that look most like P5 members are: UConn (Flagship), Colorado St. (Land Grant), Cincinnati (Number 2 public university in Ohio - based on research designation, not USNWR ranking), Memphis (Number 2 public university in Tennessee), and UMass (Flagship). Memphis and UMass are hurt by the fact that a private university is occupying their state niche."[/I] [/QUOTE]
