Texas (and Florida for that matter) seems drastically underserved by top universities for its size.
Here are the top ten CSA's and the best schools within:
NYC: Colombia,Princeton,Yale, NYU
LA: Caltech, UCLA, USC, UCI
Chicago: UChicago, Northwestern (Notre Dame in periphery)
Washington/Baltimore: Johns Hopkins, Georgetown
SF/SJ: Stanford, Cal
Boston: Harvard, MIT, Brown, Tufts, BC
DFW: SMU?!?, TCU?!?
Houston: Rice, Houston?!?
Philly: Penn, Villanova (Princeton in periphery)
Miami: Miami!?, FAU!?
I wonder if some day Miami and SMU will become much more elite. Those metros seem too large to have zero top schools.
