Many universities are like that...anything that doesn't have a location in the name.
Even with location references, anytime Arizona and Arizona State play Washington, I forget which is in Tempe and which is wherever the hell else.
Am I unusual? I bet not. How many people know where Gonzaga is? Or Rutgers? Or Marquette? I mean people who aren't in the same region.
We know about universities outside our regions if we're reading academic journals, or hire their grads, or watch their sports. Even then we might not really make connections to places.
I found out about Vanderbilt on this board.

Clemson and Rutgers would seem odd to me not knowing, growing up in NYC, seems that everyone on the east coast at least knows Rutgers. I can see the average person not knowing where Gonazaga or Marquette are located.
