Do we share a state with Clemson? Sure. But SC dominates the entire state outside of the little corner in the NE. I can't tell you how many students from Winthrop, CoC, the Citadel, Wofford, etc. grew up as Carolina fans and remain so throughout their lives.
This simply cannot be true.

Makes sense to me, I don't think anyone would actually wear purple and orange if a choice was given.

Well it is. People put too much weight in football. What because Clemson has a healthy lead over us in the football series they must have more fans?
Ask any SC native or any non-SC or Clemson fan that lives in this state. Columbia (obviously) and Charleston, and everywhere in between is far and away dominated by Gamecocks.
It's the state school, its the bigger school, its in the state capital (the largest city in the state), not tucked away deep into the northern corner of SC, its a school that is business / arts & science based rather than agriculture and engineering (appeals to a broader scope of students) etc. etc.
