<p>South Carolina also has more students and more alumni than the west coast USC.</p>
<p>And although the west coast USC is world famous for academics, the east coast USC is considered superior to the west coast one in a number of programs, and students that attend the east coast USC’s Honors College are very academically competitive with the west coast USC.</p>
<p>They are both great in several sports, both universities are pre-season ranked in the top 10 for football, wouldn’t it be exciting if they ended up playing each other in a bowl game? The South Carolina USC has several equestrian sports national championships (the California USC can’t lay claim to that). Only the South Carolina USC made it to the college world series this year (and back to back national baseball championships the past two years). </p>
<p>East of the Mississippi and south of the Mason Dixon, the University of South Carolina is the ONLY USC - unless you are Asian of course.</p>
