Which mainland FBS school is the most isolated?
More specifically, using the school's official address and driving distance, which non-Hawai'i FBS school is the farthest away from another FBS school?
For those struggling with the premise, an example: The nearest school to Minnesota is Iowa State (219 miles). Obviously, Colorado, Texas or Florida State are farther away from Minnesota than Iowa State but that question was already asked. Minnesota's nearest FBS neighbor is Iowa State, which is 47 miles closer to Minnesota than Wisconsin.
Need some hints?
It's west of the Mississippi.
It's not in the Mountain West.
It's a Power Five school.
It's not Washington or Washington State.

Answer
Texas Tech
Lubbock isn't Siberia or Iraq, but it's very isolated.
No mainland FBS school is more than 300 miles from its nearest FBS neighbor but a couple are close. Boise State is 292 miles from the nearest school, Utah State, and Texas Tech is 296 miles the closest school, North Texas.
