USC vs.UCLA Rivalry Week: Hotness Edition
In the spirit of Rivalry Week, it would be only appropriate to compare any and all aspects of LA's two premier universities, no matter how mundane. Academics? Endowment? Bah, lets talk about what's really important: Attractiveness. There is no question that any normal strapping, virile, young 18 year old (guy or girl) considers the quality of the opposite sex when mulling through their prospective colleges.
As a USC female alum, there's obviously some bias on my end, but am entirely willing to discuss. While watching a few games on TV this year, I was surprised at the lack of hot chicks in bikinis that screamed drunkenly in the stands as the camera panned over the crowd. Is there a direct correllation between increased academic standards and level of attractiveness? All signs point to yes. Either way, you decide. In the end, who has hotter people, USC or UCLA?
