When it comes to public schools, there are very few where an undergrad degree is seen as prestigious. Cal, Michigan, UVA, and thats about it except for certain degrees at certain places like engineering at GaTech.
A&M and Florida both carry some weight, IMO.

I'd say Mizzou does too, being an AAU school.

I disagree. A degree from either of those schools does not open any special doors except for in Texas and Florida.

I don't know about Florida, or even some diplomas at A&M, but my petroleum engineering degree carries some weight globally. And usually we are ranked number 1 in the country for undergrad, even though they don't rank is every year. I never received a graduate or doctorate from A&M, and I'm sure just based purely on endowment we are ranked highly because of all the research, but education wise who knows. I know that 4 of the world's 5 largest oil companies are in Houston, and I know that Texas A&M has a strong, if not the strongest presence in each of those companies.
