    pistolpete said November 22, 2008

    MasonDixon is right. If you're going to include UTEP, UNLV, and UAB, you need UCLA. Also, Stanford is in Stanford, CA.

        'Nova's in the Championship Subdivision, Dewey. So that would be the explanation for that one.

  • ironhead

    ironhead said January 20, 2009

    I think UCLA should be on here because people typically say LA in the name. When it comes to the others the city names are generally left out like Cal, Nevada, North Carolina etc.

    If Miami (OH) is not here because it's in Oxford, OH, then Miami (FL) shouldn't be here either as they are technically located in Coral Gables, FL.
