Intro
One of the biggest controversies in all of sports is the BCS ranking system. Determining which football squads deserve to go to a bowl game is no easy task. Over here at Complex though, we're not so into crunching winning percentages or determining who had to the toughest schedule to decide which schools deserve to be among the top in the nation. All we do is peep the hottest cheerleading and dance squads. That's right, girls in mini skirts, spandex, and short shorts showing off their pom poms. This year there's even a Playmate on a cheer sqaud! So, as you continue to enjoy this year's season and root your squad onto a BCS bowl game, check out the 20 Sexiest College Cheerleader Squads of 2011...
Baylor
20. Baylor
Bikini shots? Nice. All the dudes in the picture? Not so much. Our advice: Lose 'em and you'll rank higher next year.
UConn
19. UConn
'Ol girl is cute but we had to include this one based on hilarity factor alone. Peep dude trying to spit game right in the in middle of things. Guess there are some benefits to being a male on the cheer squad. On second thoughts, scratch that. #notworthit
Auburn
18. Auburn
So, this is Auburn where Cam Newton's alleged pay for play scandal went down. Is that same pay for play policy embraced by the cheer squad? OK, we'll stop. #deadwrong #sodisrespectful
Virginia Tech
17. Virginia Tech
Whoever came up with that "Bad Newz VA" saying was wrong. Things look all good here.
UCLA
16. UCLA
You can always tell which ones are the freakiest. Hint: She's the one with the highlights in her hair. What? That didn't help?
Texas Tech
15. Texas Tech
Only two reasons why we tune into Texas Tech games this season. Take a wild guess, fam.
South Carolina
14. South Carolina
College football remains the only place where photographers can take upskirt shots without catching charges or a quick backhand to the face. That being said, do you, cameraman. Do you.
University of Miami
13. University of Miami
It's all about the U! The football program may have fallen off but not the cheer squad. The girls standing up in spandex are cool but we gotta take Pimp C's advice on this one...
Florida State
12. Florida State
As you can see, Florida State girls have no problem getting close on camera. Now they just need to throw in a third girl to complete the racks on racks on racks trifecta.
Oklahoma State
11. Oklahoma State
Don't get it twisted, cheerleading is a sport that requires team camaraderie and bonding, too. The less clothing worn during this bonding, the better.
East Carolina University
10. East Carolina University
Only one song came to mind when we peeped this photo: Soundtrack, please!
Florida International
9. Florida International
Yes, they're twins on the same squad. The best things in life come in twos. Thought you knew...
Sam Houston State
8. Sam Houston State
All we know about the Bearkats is that these two girls cheer for 'em and that's enough reason for them to start getting more nationally televised games, STAT. C'mon, ESPN.
TCU
7. TCU
We have no clue what they're feeding girls down South at schools like TCU but please make it public. All other females adjust your diets accordingly.
Kansas
5. Kansas
All we know about Kansas cheerleader, Morgan, is that she's a freshman but she's hot and legal. Fall back, Chris Hansen.
USC
4. USC
USC may have taken a few L's with the NCAA sanctions handed down to them but in the cheerleader department they stay winning. Think these girls even know that they won't make it on national TV at a bowl game? Eh, who cares.
Mississippi State
3. Mississippi State
Taylor Corley caused a stir earlier this year when she posed for Playboy. She has plenty of NSFW photos on the Interwebs. Feel free to start Googling and ogling, fam.
Arizona State
2. Arizona State
Lisa Blanco (second from the right) was featured as SI's Cheerleader of the Week and says she most often listens to Trey Songz, Drake and Zumba tracks. So, she bumps that baby-making music and stays fit for when she puts those slow jamz to work? Wifey material!
Oregon
1. Oregon
From the fresh unis to the consistently hot cheerleaders year in and year out, if there were ever a college to get the 'Plex cosign, it'd be Oregon.
