Who's the most prestigious "State" school in sports?

Dixie State

for football florida state has more natty's than penn state. michigan state claims more titles than florida state.

for college basketball, and baseball....lol who cares

You say sports. That means multiple sports and multiple national championships in like three sports. LSU has FB and baseball. Michigan State has FB, basketball and Hockey. Ohio State may have multiple titles. FSU has nothing in basketball. I don't know if track and field counts for much then LSU is right up there.

#1. Louisiana State. The in-state HS talent is superb to the rest of the states without another in state school to come close to competing.

#2. Ohio State. Best program in the north, and don’t have to really compete with another in-state program. They can also get players from anywhere based off brand alone, but I rank them 2, strictly because Louisiana has better/more in-state talent, and a lot of Louisiana guys will stay loyal to LSU.

#3. Florida State. Greatest state for recruiting, but a lot more competition, and doesn’t help they’ve been down. But like LSU, in 2019, and FSU 2013/14, one player can make everything change.

#4 Penn State. Historical team, one of the best atmospheres in CFB. Probably would be higher if not for the dirt the programs been through, and more lacking in in-state talent compared to Florida, Louisiana, and Ohio.

#5. Is very arguable, but I’d put Oklahoma State right now at #5. You can make an argument with Michigan State, and even Iowa State right now.

Next would be very arguable between NC State, Mississippi State, Arizona State, Washington State, and Kansas State. (In no order)

Then I’d rank non P5 schools like Boise State, right there with, if not above P5 Oregon State.

Sorry mate, was thinking more football for my post, for sure. Oregon State, and Mississippi State would be higher and do to their baseball programs, and FSU would be arguably be closer with Ohio State if we’re talking all sports. How would you rank them?

Delta State

You have a higher percentage per capita. Ohio has more recruits because of raw numbers.

It’s cool, you’re probably right statistically, but don’t say “you”. I have no affiliation to Louisiana. I was born and raised in Florida, went to Ole Miss, and have lived in Colorado for 7 years. My mom went to Ohio State, and her entire side of the family. My dads side of the fams went to Florida. So if I did have any bias, it’d actually be in Ohio’s direction.
