Hard to imagine a Top 10 poll without a bevy of SEC teams, right? Even weirder: Imagine Kent State cracking the Top 3!

This is what happened when people cross-referenced .edu addresses with the Ashley Madison dump. 

From InsideHigherEd.com:

TOP .EDU EMAILS OF ASHLEY MADISON HACK
RANK SCHOOL NUMBER OF EMAILS
1 MICHIGAN STATE 696
2 PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY 679
3 KENT STATE UNIVERSITY 653
4 VIRGINIA TECH 561
5 IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE 560
6 VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES 541
7 THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY 487
8 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA 485
9 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 450
10 NEW YORK UNIVERSITY 438

Future reference: It's a bad idea to use a real email address when signing up for skeevy internet services. (Not that I would know or anything...)

Still, though, none of these schools have anything on the state of Alabama:
