Could it just be that being a larger population state the university has more of a selection bias than other state schools would have in the South?

Florida and North Carolina college towns are also quite liberal. Additionally being a larger state means more money to fund the town including professors and the businesses that support the town. Institutions in other Southern states have a much smaller population base.
