UGA moves back into the Top 20

USNews rankings of Top National Universities was announced yesterday. The University of Georgia moved up to 18th among public universities from 21st last year. Overall, the University moved up to 56th up from 58th. I think our all-time high was 52nd about eight or so year ago. Our academic peers (large, broad-based curriculum state schools) are:
    53rd overall / 16th public - University of Florida
    55th (Tie) / 17th - Syracuse University
    56th (Tie) / 18th - Ohio State University
    56th (Tie) / 18th - Purdue University
    56th (Tie) / 18th - University of Georgia
    56th (Tie) / 18th - University of Maryland
We're third in the SEC behind Vandy and the Gators. Georgia Tech ranked 35th this year. It's amazing that a state with such low high school ratings would produce two Top 20 public universities.
