Well I know the list of Ivy league colleges, everyone does, but what about the schools that are considered Ivy League clones, I hear about them a lot, but I don't understand how they are similar or where they are located...

I've never heard the term ivy clones used anywhere because that would mean that are the same - and no two schools are the same.
There are other good schools such as those already mentioned (Rice, UTAustin, UMich Ann Arbor, UCBerkeley, CooperUnion, Caltech, MIT etc.) Also keep in mind the liberal arts colleges like Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona, Bowdoin, and Williams.
Ivy League is the name for a football league comprised of 8 of the oldest schools in the U.S. If your are choosing a college based on status alone you will likely be unhappy there.

What they are referring to are schools which have the academic reputation and breadth of an Ivy League school, but which are not in the actual athletic league, such as Stanford, Rice, Vanderbilt, UC Berkeley, University of Michigan, etc. Schools like Berkeley and Michigan are sometimes also referred to as "public ivies".
