Group A
-Oxford
-Tuscaloosa
-Starkeville
- Could make an arguement Auburn belongs here.
All 3 of these cities with roots with in the deep south dating back hundreds of years. Similar terrain make up and features. Demographics of the cities and surrouding areas all seem to correspond with one another with large populations of minorities blended in. Lot of Old Money still prevalent in the area. Relatively rural, small populations outside of Tuscaloosa which even then isnt a dramatic step up.
Tuscaloosa has a metro population of 270,000. That's like three times the size of Oxford and Starkville added together. How are they anything alike in that regard?

Good point, Capstone. You could probably create a "larger than medium college town" category with Tuscaloosa, Athens, and Columbia, MO. Not that the OP was doing it purely on size, those 3 cities have other things in common as well.

All 3 are small to medium sized citys with a pretty heavy college town feel to it. Tuscaloosa is a lot bigger then the Miss. schools but even then its still in the bottom half of SEC cities by city proper and metro area populations.

Isn't that because THREE counties are factored into the metro population? We all know there isn't shite between and around Tuscaloosa/Northport all the way to Murderham.
If anything, since Northport and Tuscaloosa are only separated by a river, those two citites should be considered the metro area and that would give it roughly a population of 125k.
