When reviewing a lot of the responses to the "national ranking" post, it made me think of this topic. Basically, schools that exist in a state with a "University of State" program in state.
I'd probably put them in this order
(1) Florida State (49th Wins, 13th W%, 12th Bowl App, 3 National Titles)
(2) Auburn (13th Wins, 20th W%, 16th Bowl App, 2 National Titles)
(3) Texas A&M (16th Wins, 26th Win%, 19th Bowl App, 1 National Title)
(4) Georgia Tech (17th Wins, 31st W%, 13th Bowl App, 1 National Title)
(5) Clemson (20th Wins, 24th W%, 17th Bowl App, 1 National Title)
(6) Michigan State (26th Wins, 25th Win%, 39th Bowl App, 2 National Titles)
(7) Virginia Tech (15th Wins, 23rd Win%, 36th Bowl App, 0 National Titles)
Next group : Texas Tech, Arizona State, NC State, Mississippi State
Note : I didn't really include any of the California schools, as they Berkeley is technically the flagship but not in the same way as Alabama/Auburn, Michigan/Michigan State, South Carolina/Clemson, etc.

Penn State is Pennsylvania's flagship school. UPenn is private and a member of the Ivy League.

Flagship as in what? Like the actual school or the program?

Miami should be considered,
11th all time in NFL draft picks
4th all-time in first round picks
15th in consensus All-Americans
18th in bowl appearances
8th in weeks spent as #1
2 Heisman winners
5 national titles
The biggest thing going against them is their all time wins (596 all time wins).
*edit- are you only wanting public universities?

Half of our commits commit by saying University of Auburn, so I don't think we should be included.

LSU, Notre Dame, USC, BYU, Miami, Clemson, Ga Tech, etc. Being a University of School is not an indicator of football success.

How the hell is A&M and Auburn behind FSU in total bowl appearances when you guys had like a 50 year head start on us?

You left off LSU. They have to share with The University of Louisiana.

You have to list these schools based on endowment first, because that's usually how most publications rate these polls. Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, and Virginia Tech are not big money schools. They are in the same fold as Texas Tech, ASU, Mississippi State, and NC State.
Michigan State, and GT have very deep pockets.
Texas A&M is on another level of wealth.
