As @Parentof2014grad says: it’s the year. UNT is often discussed. It is a great choice particularly due to financials. In putting a list together, it’s a good one to have on your list since it’s financial reasonably and highly respected.
Here is the journal where the student chose UNT…and he just graduated after winter semester. Unfortunately I don’t think his father comes on much anymore but you could try to DM him or use @Parentof2014grad as a resource. There is an ebb and flow on which schools are discussed. UNT was HOT until, maybe, just this year. As comparison, there have been years where IU was lightly discussed. So it depends on the year. It should not be thought of as a reflection of the quality of the school.
