But when I “chance” myself at flagship schools outside CA (e.g., Washington, Wisconsin) my chances are significantly better even OOS than they are at my in-state flagship universities.

Which schools do you count as CA flagship universities? Arguably we have at least 6 UC “flagships,” if not more.

Here are some US News National Universities rankings after UCLA and UCB:
29. UC San Diego
33 (tie). UC Davis
33 (tie). UC Irvine
39 (tie). UC Santa Barbara
39 (tie). U Wisconsin Madison
46 (tie). U Washington
