We may have an explanation for why Virginia's football team is doing so poorly this year, they're too busy partying.

Playboy released it's annual party school rankings and named the oldest public school in the country No. 1.

"Raise a glass to UVA, whose students know a thing or two about raising glasses and everything important to this list," Playboy posted on their website.

The rankings were based on three categories: sex, nightlift and sports. Virginia ranked third in nightlife, second in sex and 16th in sports.

The relatively low sports ranking may have something to do with their football team, who are 2-2 this year, but have only beat FCS Richmond and the struggling Penn State. The Cavaliers were drubbed 56-20 in their only ACC matchup against Georgia Tech.

NBC News reports that University of Virginia officials weren't pleased with the dubious honor.

“We are demanding a recount,” said UVA spokeswoman Marian Anderfuren.

Here is Playboy's full list of best party schools:

1. Virginia

2. USC

3. Florida

4. Texas

5. Wisconsin

6. Georgia

7. Vanderbilt

8. Tulane

9. TCU
