Perhaps. I'm mainly thinking of Furman, Davidson, W&L, Richmond, Wake, etc. Schools that are considered the equal of a state's flagship institutions (in lots of cases superior). Those kids had a much smoother transition than your UNC, UGA, UF, UVA, Clemson, etc kids.
I can see that, although those are pretty good schools and I'd bet they can hang most places. I think there is a pretty big difference between the better publics and the old school publics. I think schools like Auburn and Alabama are making that transition somewhat, schools like UGA already have, and schools live UVA have been rigorous to some extent forever.

In my experience w/ UGA (which is quite extensive), their reputation has received a very generous boost due to proximity to ATL. UGA is a beautiful school and a ton of fun and has high regional visibility. Thus, admissions standards are fairly high (for an SEC school, anyways). But once you get in, make no mistake, it's a party school. And after graduation you can make your way to ATL and plug yourself into a very deep alum network that has access to very good jobs in the south's largest city.
