Image via Complex Original

Memo to Sooners, Trojans, Gators, and Crimson Tides (ewww, gross!): y'all ain't winning the national championship in football this year. Nope, that title is going to the Ducks in 2010, specifically the University of Oregon Ducks (well, either them or TCU). Undefeated, with just three more wins needed to clinch a BCS title game berth, Oregon is the class of the college football world right now (and they did it without paying their quarterback—shots!). But what if, what if the Ducks pull a Patriots and fall flat in January? Will the Beaver State (hehe) be inconsolable? Of course not, because it's got some of the most beautiful women in the land. Now check out state's back-up claim to fame if the Ducks crap out in the BCS: the 10 hottest women from Oregon.

Hometown: Medford

Claim to fame: She broke out in the '90s as Billie Reed on Days of Our Lives and as Taylor McBride in Melrose Place (pre-Katie Cassidy). In the 2000s, she's taking a piece out of Demi Moore's playbook for fighting off obscurity—twitpic-ing bikini photos.

Hometown: Ashland

Claim to fame: Only two things in the universe could make us wake up before 10 A.M.: the McDonald's breakfast menu and Ann Curry. If we had to choose, we'd take the Today show host. We can't engage in intellectual conversations about the conflict in the Congo and political unrest in the Middle East with our Sausage Egg McMuffin.

Hometown: Portland

Claim to fame: Fanboys know her as Starbuck on Battlestar Gallactica. The average working man knows her as Dana Walsh on 24. We know her as the punchline to our forthcoming book 1001 Scrotum Jokes. We win.

Hometown: Tigard

Claim to fame: As Dee in It's Always Sunny In Phlipadelphia, Kaitlin is the hilariously neurotic crush you can't bring yourself to admit you have, essentially filling the role in our lives Julia Louis-Dreyfus left when Seinfeld went off air.

Hometown: Phoenix

Claim to fame: She became Miss Oregon Teen USA in 2002 then Miss Teen USA in 2003. Since then, she's competed in Miss Washington USA and won Miss Malibu USA 2009. Last year, she stepped up as Miss California 2009 when Carrie Prejean was DQ'ed from the position. What the hell? Little Miss Sunshine over here needs some hobbies.

Hometown: Eugene

Claim to fame: She's the female relief to Bradley Whitfords and Colin Hanks' characters in the new series The Good Guys. As awesome it is to stare at the Fry Guys on Bradley's face all episode, Jenny's the perfect distraction from our trance.

Hometown: Tillamook

Claim to fame: Even though she was arguably the least desirable of all of The Girls Next Door and the girl whose age you questioned most, it's hard to discredit the girl's sincere sweetness. It adds major brownie points to her sex appeal. And no, we're not mistaking aloofness for sweetness.

Hometown: Gold Beach

Claim to fame: The strip study sessions in Billy Madison that made us feel like it was an injustice to have smelly, old, senile teachers in junior high. That indignation could also have been a plausible reason for Andre Agassi's awkward hostility towards her husband, Pete Sampras, at the Hit for Haiti charity fundraiser earlier this year.

Hometown: Portland

Claim to fame: If she decides to follow the model set by Playboy's Career Guide for Lost Former Playmates, then Holly Madison's protege either a) needs a show of her own b) needs to step into Holly's World c) do another Playboy centerfold d) do all of the above, at the same time, on a horse.

Hometown: Astoria

Claim to fame: Hugh Hefner's No. 1 girlfriend in The Girls Next Door was always ours too. As the titular chick in her own show Holly's World, we basically still have Holly in the TGND without the other chicks imposing on her screen time.
