Manti Te'o's non-existent girlfriend has snared a coveted spot on Maxim's Hot 100 released Thursday, coming in at No. 69 on the comely countdown.
The page in the magazine shows a pic of an invisible woman wearing a black bikini, with the caption, “Why not? She’s got a ton of great qualities. Including looking awesome in a bikini.”

Among those (hilariously) making the list BELOW the “Invisible Woman” – Katherine Mc Phee (#73), Rachel Bilson (#74), Ke$ha (#78), and NBC’s Hoda Kotb (#79).
Maxim has a history of using the #69 spot for levity – Last year, it placed Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert in the #69 spot.
The top five in the annual fleshfest were, in order, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, Mila Kunis and Jennifer Lawrence.
As we previously reported, Te'o's purported late girlfriend Lennay Kekua didn't actually exist, a hoax the Notre Dame linebacker claimed he had nothing to do with.
After a media dust-up that made him a household name before his first NFL snap, the San Diego Chargers traded up to snare the All-American in the second round with 38th overall pick last month.
