10. Tennessee
2008 Ranking: 25
I think we nailed it last year with this lyric from “Rocky Top”:
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top,
Half bear the other half cat;
9. Georgia
2008 Ranking: 9
The great thing about southern women is that they take tremendous pride in their appearance, and you won’t see that more than in Georgia. Girls wear heels and put on makeup just to make a Taco Bell run in Athens, and the world is a better place for it.
8. Arizona
2008 Ranking: 21
Arizona gives Florida a real run for it’s money when it comes to states with the hottest overall college girls, as both Arizona and Arizona State make high appearances on our list. There’s just something about all the sunshine I guess.
7. Auburn
2008 Ranking: 8
Auburn features lots of hot sorority girls, and a beautiful campus with tons of tradition. Like most SEC schools, autumn Saturdays are the closest thing to heaven at Auburn, with tons of hot girls appear, wearing dresses and getting busy getting plastered.
6. Alabama
2008 Ranking: 18
We thought it was appropriate that Alabama and Auburn go back to back, what with it being one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports. The girls here are your typical Southern belles, wearing dresses to football games and doing their damndest to look as hot as possible at all times.
5. Florida State
2008 Ranking: 3
Florida State’s athletics continued taking some hits in 2008, but the student body is as hot as ever.
4. Arizona State
2008 Ranking: 1
Last year’s number ones relinquish the top spot this year, but that’s no knock as they are still easily a top school. As mentioned earlier, Arizona is obviously a great place to go to school for the college aged male.
3. Texas Tech
2008 Ranking: NR
Easily the biggest omission from 2008, we are downright embarassed that we left Texas Tech off of our inaugural list. We’re making up for it this year with a #3 spot, making Texas Tech easily our highest debut entry.
2. Florida
2008 Ranking: 4
University of Florida women have become legends in recent years. I can’t tell you how many UF hot girl galleries I’ve seen on various blogs in the past couple of years, but there are plenty out there. Gainesville has had a lot of sports success in recent years to be proud of, but they can be just as proud of all their hot female undergrads.
1. Ole Miss
2008 Ranking: 5
I think we’ve pretty well established that the SEC is the hottest conference in the country, and I think if you asked most SEC fans which school had the hottest girls you’d probably get a lot of different answers, but I’d bet you’d hear Ole Miss more than any other school. You just have to take a trip to the Grove on any football Saturday to see that they are a much deserved number one for 2009.
20. Penn State
2008 Ranking: 37
It’s hard to find women who aren’t pretty cheery when they live in a place called Happy Valley. Which is in the middle of nowhere, so there’s really not much to do at Penn State except get drunk and hook up, a major plus in our book.
19. Kentucky
2008 Ranking: 23
When your school mascot is basically Ashley Judd you know you’re doing something right.
18. Arkansas
2008 Ranking: 13
And now, with Kentucky and Arkansas, we really start to enter the SEC portion of the program. My sports allegiances don’t lie with this conference, but it’s impossible to deny the hotness of it’s women. Arkansas is no exception.
17. Texas
2008 Ranking:
Plus 1: it’s a southern school with great weather. Plus 2: you’re talking about the largest university in the country, so there’s going to be something for everyone. Not a bad place to do four years at all.
16. Miami (OH)
2008 Ranking: NR
Miami of Ohio is one of the more underrated schools in the country for hot women, and we’re correcting that with this list. While the campus is a bit homogeneous (if you visit you’ll see mostly hot blonde girls wearing the preppiest clothes possible), the quality in Oxford can’t be denied.
15. UC Santa Barbara
2008 Ranking: NR
Ranked second on Playboy’s latest college rankings for party schools, UC Santa Barbara has the benefit of a location that’s like honey for attracting hot girls who love the ocean. The girl you see above graduated from UCSB with a degree in film studies.
14. LSU
2008 Ranking: 10
A great football team, and some of the hottest baton and dancer girls in the nation, what’s not to love? LSU girls also tend to have cute accents, if you’re into that sort of thing.
13. South Carolina
2008 Ranking: 6
Gamecock women (so tough not to be juvenile there) are easily some of the hottest in the country. Don’t knock Southern hospitality, these are some of the sweetest hot girls you’ll find anywhere.
12. USC
2008 Ranking: 2
The USC Song Girls are probably the hottest cheerleaders in the nation, and the rest of the campus doesn’t suffer in comparison. Whether you attend UCLA or USC, you really can’t lose going to school in LA.
11. University of Miami (FL)
2008 Ranking: 17
Miami is easily one of the hottest cities in the country overall, so it’s no surprise that it’s major university would rank pretty highly on a list of hottest student bodies. Miami sunshine and the great beaches are a great attraction for hot girls, and you’ll find plenty here.
30. Indiana
2008 Ranking: 43
Indiana hoops have sadly fallen on some hard times, but the quality of female at IU has stayed strong. Not only are the girls here hot, they’re likely to be sweet as well, what with all the midwestern good manners that have been bred into them.
29. Oklahoma
2008 Ranking: 36
Much like earlier entry Kansas, Oklahoma is a bit of a barren wasteland until you get on campus. But once you get to Norman you’ll have lots of fun tailgating and girl watching. Plus, as we said last year (we just had to reuse the picture), the girls here really know how to dress for football Saturdays.
28. TCU
2008 Ranking: 42
Sure, this is ostensibly a Christian school, but it’s often the pious girl that’s the most fun … even if you have to get her behind closed doors to really find that out. Texas schools all have lots of A list talent and TCU is right there with the best of them.
27. Central Florida
2008 Ranking: NR
Another egregious omission from last year’s list, Central Florida is the fifth largest school in the country with over 50k students. Located in beautiful Orlando, Florida, UCF doesn’t get the press for it’s hot co-eds that other Florida schools get, but it is definitely competitive and worthy of a solid spot on our list.
26. Wisconsin
2008 Ranking: 22
Winters are long in Wisconsin, leaving lots of time for drunken debauchery and wild parties, leading to lots of very corrupt hot college girls wandering around Madison. Every year we do this list the quality of Wisconsin women surprises me, it definitely defies some of the stereotypes you typically hear about the state.
25. UCLA
2008 Ranking: 7
UCLA draws from what is probably the most beautiful city in the country, and it’s probably a toss up whether they or USC has the hottest cheerleaders in the nation.
24. North Carolina State
2008 Ranking: 33
Not quite as famous as their Chapel Hill counterparts, but still lots of grade A talent at this Raleigh campus. North Carolina is probably an underrated state overall for hot college girls.
23. Utah
2008 Ranking: 29
It truly is a paradox, Mormon girls are some of the hottest on earth, and yet they are Mormon. But Utah is a bit of a compromise, because, after all, it’s not BYU at least.
22. Ohio State
2008 Ranking: 24
Numbers are in your favor at Ohio State, with over 25k female undergrads. In the spring walking around the Oval can be damn near a religious experience with all the girls taking full advantage of warmer temperatures.
21. Washington
2008 Ranking: 19
The University of Washington features one of the most gorgeous natural settings in America, with Mount Ranier visible from campus and the school sits at the edge of the Union and Portage Bays. This attracts lots of granola loving hot girls, so if you’re into that type you’d be in heaven at UW.
