It’s college ranking season, and we’re not talking football. Several Georgia universities find themselves among the nation’s top 100 universities in one closely watched report.

The U.S. News & World Report College Best Colleges Rankings report released Tuesday lists Emory University at No. 24. It’s the same ranking the private Atlanta university received last year, making it the highest rated of any school in the state.

That’s followed by Georgia Tech at No. 32, a one-spot jump from last year. The University of Georgia remained at No. 46. Further down the list are Mercer University (No. 169), Georgia State University (No. 198) and Augusta University (No. 273). Princeton University was No. 1 in the country yet again.
