Can anyone name a better college baseball series than South Carolina vs Clemson?

(I say series instead of rivalry just so more series can be included

South Carolina vs Clemson is the most heated rivalry in all of college baseball. They have met in Omaha a couple of times, with South Carolina knocking them out in the semifinals both times (2002 and 2010).

Both are perennial powerhouses in baseball and it's a big deal here. Interestingly enough, Clemson actually holds the series lead on South Carolina. It isn't even that close (170-131-2).
South Carolina has recently separated themselves from Clemson by adding some real hardware, but every year I look forward to this great series and try to make it to all 3 games.

What are some other great series in college baseball that have some interesting backgrounds to them? LSU-Arkansas and Ole Miss-MSU both instantly come to mind.

this.

LSU-State

Probably 3-4 years ago, LSU-Ole Miss would have been in the discussion even though it is still a good series.

90s- LSU-Bama

LSU/Mississippi State is always a good one. And LSU always wins the series.

USC-Clemson is always entertaining to watch.

LSU-Arkansas
FSU-Miami
UVA-North Carolina
UGA-Georgia Tech
ASU-Arizona

Those are a few good ones too but obviously none of those are near as rich as the one you guys have with Clemson. Those are always series' I like to catch though.

LSU-Ark for sure.

I look forward to that series probably the most every year.

Auburn-Troy is the best, IMO. You will not find a more intense Tue. night match-up.
The ones you mentioned are a'ight though.

LSU-State, while likely not as meaningful to the fans as South Carolina-Clemson due to the in-state factor, has been significant for a long time.

Long Beach State (Dirtbags) and Cal State Fullerton used to be a big baseball rivalry, not sure how big it is today though.

LSU versus any number of California schools.

Cal-State Fullerton, UC-Irvine, and USC come to mind.
