Eugene and the University of Oregon made Americasbestonline.net's top 10 for college sports towns across the United States coming in at number seven.
The top goes as followed:
1. Athens, GA- University of Georgia
2. Boulder, CO- University of Colorado
3. Madison, WI- University of Wisconsin
4. Gainesville, FL- University of Florida
5. Austin, TX- University of Texas
6. Bloomington, IN- Indiana University
7. Eugene, OR- University of Oregon
8. Knoxville, TN- University of Tennessee
9. College Station, TX- Texas A&M University
10. Syracuse, NY- Syracuse University
Top Ten
When looking at the list I had a minor disagreement for where Oregon and Eugene were placed. I believe Eugene and the love we have as Oregon fans is underrated even at number 7. Eugene is blessed with some of the best early fall weather in the entire nation where its warm and sunny yet not too hot or cold. Mix in our lovely trees with tons of color in the fall and our rivers and the UO campus and the atmosphere at Autzen Stadium on game days and you have in my eyes a top 5 location in all the nation.
I believe Oregon should be placed at 5th but no higher because the schools above have rich traditions and/or equal landscape beauty.
After reading this ranking and thinking about this topic I would love to hear back on what Duck fans think make Eugene so special a place to land a ranking in the top 10.
So the question to you, readers, is this, What do you like about Eugene that makes it a top college town?

Apparently, the quality of the universities did not enter this ranking?
Apparently, Duck fans pay attention to the most worthless top 10s around. But hey! As long as we're on it!
Seriously, this list could not come from a more sketchy looking source.
