Pennsylvania is the only state with 1 million+ metros/CSAs that expand in 3 different regions. Philadelphia northeast
Wilmington Delaware south
Maryland south
Pittsburgh Midwest
See what I'm saying?
No not at all because all of the Pittsburgh metro is in PA so it's the Northeast.
You could do a whole Oddities treatise on those. Like U Massachusetts in the Mid America, Colorado in the Pacific-12, and West Virginia (Pittsburgh Metro) in the Big 12 with all those Texas teams, and Missouri not just in the Southeast Conference, but the Eastern Division..
ACC hasn't been a southern conference since it added BC back in 05. With the addition of Pitt and Syracuse (not to mention Notre Dame) it has firmly shown it's agenda to chip away at the Big East and become THE dominant NCAA conference for the eastern US.
Earth City, Missouri, has no permanent residents and no permanent housing. But it does contain the St. Louis Rams Training Center, hotels, a church, restaurants, and a business park including corporate offices. The name of this unincorporated area pays homage to the former landfill on which Earth City was built.

Morgantown is in Pittsburgh's "sphere of influence" but it's not in the Pittsburgh metro area as defined by the census.
Since I can't find anything right now, here's one of my personal geographical oddities: Even though I always think of West Virginia as being south of me, a slight portion of the northern WV panhandle including Chester and Newell is farther north than my house, but most of my relatives just north of me live further north than the entire panhandle (and state).
