In case you’re scoring at home, that would be the University of Southern California at #23 moving ahead of the University of California-Los Angeles (hey, at least you guys still have Neuheisel!), and just one slot behind UC-Berkeley (a gap that’s almost certain to be closed with USC adding facilities and star faculty while California budget woes doom the long-term prospectus for their once-unbeatable public university system).

All of which will be featured in the University’s new marketing campaign: USC: Nevermind the football, we’re getting our learn on!
