It seems that Playboy is always coming out with a new list of the . Heck, if such lists sell magazines for US News & World Report, it can’t be all that surprising that other struggling magazines (full of articles!) would want to get in on the business of ranking colleges?
So here is Playboy’s Top Ten for 2010.
1. University of Texas at Austin
2. West Virginia University
3. University of Wisconsin-Madison
4. University of Miami-Florida
5. East Carolina University
6. Arizona State University
7. Rollins College (all women’s!)
8. University of California-Santa Barbara
9. Plymouth State University
10. University of Iowa
