UPDATE as of 8/13/2010: The Chronicle of Higher Education found this post and wrote up an article of their own: "Professors: Hot at Their Own Risk." And while it was interesting to hear their opinions on the matter, we're not really buying the whole "too hot to teach" thing. Check out our response: "Hot Professors 'Hate' the Attention -- Men, Welcome to Life As a Woman." We looked far. We looked wide. Now it's time to announce (and congratulate!) all the fine men who made it into the Lemondrop "Hottest Professors" contest. Beauty and brains: We're sure our guys will be proud to be included. Or not, but we're excited to share them here with you!
Back in March, we solicited submissions from you, our readers, and asked College Candy to aid us in our quest to find the hottest of the hot. After digging through comments and e-mails, we plucked the finest candidates and even chose a few of our own.
But while we tried to cover all the bases, we invite you to leave any smart hotties we may have missed in the comments. And don't forget a photo link so we can all drool a little more! Happy viewing!
Lemondrops Hottest Professors Contest
Ben Horton, University of Pennsylvania, Earth and Environmental Science: Cute, in that bug-eyed kind of way. And loves the earth? Deal!
Alex Glass, Duke, Geology: Worlds most boring major just got a lot more interesting. Yes, Mr. Glass, please tell me more about hydrocarbon extraction!

Archie "Chip" Birkner, University of Florida, Music: Okay, so he does actually look a little like a band geek. But then, those are the kids that grow up to become rock stars or badass college music professors. And that's hot!
Brad Stoner, Washington University, Anthropology: Anthropology, huh? WELL, he can feel free to study us anytime!
Bradley Donohue, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Psychology: Not sure how we feel about Las Vegas and those highlights he's rocking, but we can't deny a man who can rock yellow.

Bram Tucker, University of Georgia, Anthropology: Fair warning: there are a lot of Anthropology professors on this list. We didn't do this intentionally, but have decided that this is scientific evidence that the study of people makes you totally hot.

Bret Gustafson, Washington University, Anthropology: Bret, we're just glad you aren't Bret Michaels. And we'd like to let you know, you can take us to Costa Rica anytime!
Brian Richmond, George Washington, Anthropology: It's not very often that you can be attracted to a man surrounded by bones. Welcome to the exception.
David Jons, University of Georgia, Spanish: Good ol' Southern boy who speaks Espanol? Si!

eegads Batman, I think we need to get these people off to have their eyes examined, but wait, they are off already, off the wall on their comments! Yes, some
may have a cute smile but gee I think these guys may be into sales as they sure
got alot of guys and gals sold on ugly. Maybe they could be extras for some movie scene but are by no means 'stars' . 7&8,44,27... maybe 24, 19 and 15 but most would not make it to Men's Health... too boney; maybe the bone guy could collect them later for study. #7 is a MH guy and looks like he takes care of himself, the others do need to keep their clothes on and some need a grocery bag over the head. If you don't think you need glasses then you definitely need therapy! Gotham City on drugs, Batman!

The ONLY hot teacher I ever had was ironically a sub for my choir class just days before I graduated from highschool.
All us students were standing outside the class waiting for a janitor to unlock the door and I saw this new "kid". Since graduation was just a few days away I thought the guy was a junior transfer or something. When we walked into the class he walked right up to the front of the room to introduce himself.
Turned out he was 22, just graduated from college and had actually gone to our crosstown rival high school. So being just a couple years older than us and from the area , kids started asking did he know "so and so" and the whole class ended up being a big party.
He was so cute that a girl who wasn't even in our class but was just talking to another student until the classroom was open, ditched her class to flirt with our sub the whole hour!

Ahaha Professor Glass is on there (23.)! Hottest Prof at Duke, hands down. He should get a medal for getting so many female undergrads interested in geology and fossils. His sense of humor is what makes him a stud.

You people must be incredibly unattractive and suffer from low self-esteem. With the exception of a mere 4 pics, these guys range from boringly average to down right hideous. I could have found 50 attractive professors by simply surfing the websites of universities and colleges myself. Were these the only 50 entrants lemonhead got? How did you manage to eliminate beyond 50? Did you just determine who was the least offensive and go with that?

Aww..don't be so mean! Yes, there are several picks here that are kinda questionable.. But there's something about a man who is smart and able to explain something with passion that really works for me :)

EW these men where okay at best, and many didnt even make it to the okay list (maybe if i had beer goggles). I was really looking foward to this and I am left super disappointed. And why where there so many professors from the anthropology department? I dont know, maybe you guys are into dorks, cause that's what they all looked like, except ricardo texeira... he was okay/cute.

Um, I thought Teddy Macker was insanely cute so I cyber stalked & found a video of him speaking on Vimeo. My fem boner was killed when I saw that he was wearing a friggin Bolo Tie; bolo = no no. And you guys should do another article, that's not some high & mighty list of amendments, of things guys do that kill fem boners. Just sayin, the peach, buttoned up all the way dress shirt with the throwback beard was pushin it, but full on bolo?!
