CHICAGO, Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Playboy is in full pursuit for the sexiest Hokies, Eagles, Seminoles and Blue Devils from the Atlantic Coast Conference. This spring, Playboy photographers will visit all 12 schools of the ACC in search of hot coeds to appear in the magazine's annual college girls pictorial. The "Girls of the ACC" feature will run in Playboy's October 2009 issue (on newsstands and at www.playboydigital.com Friday, September 11, 2009.)

For the past 32 years, college pictorials have been one of the most talked-about and popular features in Playboy. Thousands of coeds have auditioned over the years and many selected to appear in the magazine have gone on to become Playboy Playmates, models and actresses. Playboy's 2007 Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood was first featured in the magazine's October 2005 "Girls of the PAC 10" pictorial. Playboy last featured the "Girls of the ACC" in its October 2004 issue.
