The UCLA–USC rivalry refers to the American collegiate athletics rivalry between the UCLA Bruins sports teams of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and USC Trojans sports teams of the University of Southern California (USC). UCLA has the most NCAA Division I-sanctioned team championships at 112, while USC has the third most NCAA Division I-sanctioned team championships at 100. Both universities are located in Los Angeles. The rivalry between the two is among the more unusual in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I sports, because the campuses are only apart, and both are located within the same city. Furthermore, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the home stadium of the Trojans football team, is located closer to the UCLA campus than UCLA is to the Rose Bowl, the home stadium of the Bruins football team. The close proximity of alumni and students and the likelihood of members of those groups encountering one another and interacting on a daily basis make this one of the most intense college rivalries in the United States. ==Background== USC is recognized as consistently being one of the top football programs in the nation, while UCLA is recognized as consistently being one of the top basketball programs in the nation. However, a somewhat rare confluence of events occurred in 1954, which began with USC in their last of only two Final Four appearance in the 1954 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament and ended with UCLA winning their only Football National Championship. Both schools also are successful in many "non-revenue" or "olympic" sports. Both have had success in track and field, water polo, tennis, volleyball, and golf. USC has won 26 NCAA Championships in Men's Outdoor Track and Field, 21 in Men's Tennis, and 12 in Baseball, the most of any school in each respective sport. Likewise, UCLA has won 19 NCAA Championships in Men's Volleyball, 11 in Softball, and 7 in Women's Water Polo, also the most of any school in those sports. UCLA ranks first overall in NCAA championships with 112. They also rank second in men's NCAA team championships with 72, and second (behind Stanford) in women's NCAA team championships with 39. USC ranks higher than UCLA and first in the nation in men's NCAA team championships with 84; it is 3rd overall with 100 NCAA titles (behind UCLA and Stanford) .〔http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/champs_records_book/Overall.pdf〕 Both school also have several non-NCAA Championships, including AIAW and pre-NCAA championships. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UCLA–USC rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
