UCLA Bruins vs USC Trojans
Rival Team: USC Trojans
UCLA and USC have a fierce crosstown rivalry that spans a variety of different sports.

The two met in their first postseason matchup in the 2008 Pac-10 Conference Tournament, but even if you’re just attending a regular season matchup between the two, there is still a lot on the line.
UCLA Bruins vs Arizona Wildcats

UCLA Bruins vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish
