Penn State University has slipped in the pre-season rankings and we're not talking about football.
Once the top party school in the nation, Penn State has fallen to Number 7 in The Princeton Review's annual ranking of campus bacchanalia.
The ranking comes on the heels of the GQ magazine survey, which in its latest humor issue found Penn State the number two "douchiest" school in the country in part for its reputation for alcohol consumption.
In the Princeton Review party-hearty list, Ohio University took top honors, followed by the University of Georgia, University of Mississippi, University of Iowa and Cal-Santa Barbara.
The rankings are based on survey questions on the use of alcohol and drugs, hours of study each day, and the popularity of the Greek system. After topping the rankings in 2009, Penn State has lost ground each of the last two years, sliding to number seven from number three last year.
The complete list:
1. Ohio University - Athens
2. University of Georgia
3. University of Mississippi
4. University of Iowa
5. University of California-Santa Barbara
6. West Virginia University
7. Penn State University-University Park
8. Florida State University
9. University of Florida
10. University of Texas-Austin
11. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
12. Syracuse University
13. Louisiana State University-Baton Rouge

15. DePauw University
16. Indiana University-Bloomington
17. Arizona State University
18. University of Maryland-College Park
19. University of Vermont
