South Florida, or USF, is a city (not in name) school.  They had it going really well for a while there and have fallen off a cliff.  I wonder what happened there - talent shouldn't be a problem for the tier that they're on.

Then there are the Fake State schools.

Ball State, Kent State, etc.

Yeah, USUALLY the program with STATE in the name is of lesser import, then the "U of", but OSU and LSU are exceptions.

Georgia State is more of a commuter school, or used to be, they play football now, and have the largest enrollment in the state of GA.

A lot of southern State schools are HBCUs.

Is there a state without a "STATE" named school/  Virginia State?

Wisconsin is one, but that wasn't always the case. WSU got swallowed up by the UW system.

I can't think of any such "State" schools in New England, Hawaii or Alaska. 

If they do have them, they are really obscure.

Certianly of late. Historically ...

Southern Miss was high up there with Jeff Bower at one point. Looking at the historical record, UCF has the best winning percentage in FBS (57), better than directional state North Carolina. Other better than .500 directionals are Southern Miss .550, South Florida at .548, Central Michigan at .545, Western Michgian at .525 and ECU at .513.

South Carolina and North Carolina State are other non directionals with directions in the name.
Can't believe I missed Southern Cal. The USC threw me. 

West Virginia is .596, SC is .704.

Northern Illinois is not bad.
.484 all-time winning percentage. 

Weird job. Lot of MAC short timers. From 1969-1996, they had two winning coaches both who jumped to better jobs (also Lee Corso for one ill-fated year).

Then they got their all-time wins leader, who went .452 with seven winning seasons out of 12. Then a run of three coaches who were all pretty successful and now Hammock, who is struggling mightily.
