Uh, you don't have a rivalry with USC just because you're in their division and want to be part of the big boys' club. USC has played UCLA for 100 years, along with Notre Dame and other big names. I promise they don't see you as a rival as much as you'd like to be. Your rival is BYU no matter how hard you pretend to have it otherwise.
