Besides crowning a champion for Pac-10 men's basketball, this weekend's Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament also provided a unique opportunity to evaluate the talent on the baseline.

In a surprising upset, UCLA has officially been crowned LAist's Pac-10 Cheerleader Champions for the 2007-2008 basketball season. Can we get an 8-clap? Or a phone number?

While Oregon led in the hearts and (filthy) minds of most Pac-10 creepazoids observers this year, in person they just weren't as hot as on camera. Don't get us wrong -- LAist loves all the ladies of the Pac-10 ... but somebody had to win and UCLA had the looks, the moves, the looks, the knee socks, and did we mention the looks? We're sure they have lovely personalities, too.

We hear they plan on celebrating this latest championship at UCLA by running around campus in their underwear. Honest!

Here's the rest of the Pac-10:

2. Oregon - By far the best looking on camera, most casual observers will probably be shocked that the Ducks didn't reign supreme in our final evaluation. Consolation prize: Mot Photogenic.
3. USC - Class, tradition, and local. Three things we love. They also get a lot of credit for the affiliated Trojan Dance Force, who can be really friendly when celebrating a 19th birthday in a 21-and-over establishment. Consolation prize: Miss Congeniality.
4. Arizona State - Cute and fresh with their desert tans, we're big fans. Consolation prize: Best skin.
5t. Oregon State, Washington, and Arizona - If you're not on top or on bottom, does it matter?
8. Wazzu - We normally love Cougars, but they were docked points for a semi hip-hop routine performed while wearing baggy jeans. As Patrick Henry's great, great, great, great, great, great granddaughter Bunny Henry would say, "Give me miniskirts or give me death!"
9. Cal - They had a small group performing at the tournament and weren't that impressive. In the past, they've been a surprise top pick but this year was a down one.
10. Stanford - While their reputation hasn't been great for awhile, we were really hoping to see them pull it out. And no, we weren't confusing them with Westside Rental Man, who was also wearing Mickey Mouse gloves.

More photos of Bruin cheerleaders and some funny fans after the jump. If you look closely, you might be able to tell that there's a basketball game in the background!

We've gotta' feel for the Washington State band members (above) who not only saw their Cougs lose to Stanford on Friday, but didn't get to stick around to watch the UCLA cheerleaders on Saturday.

We don't feel bad for the gas companies, who had a mascot running around as part of a contest. Upon closer inspection, they were trying to pretend that gas is only ten cents per gallon. We laughed so hard we cried. Actually, we just cried.

And what's up with the contraption on the front of this guy? Is that a hose or is he just happy to take our money? Seriously, who's pumping who? Is that a gas stain or ...
