Georgia found themselves back in the top five of the AP Poll this week after their comeback victory over Ole Miss on Saturday. But even though the Bulldogs are officially a top five team again, not everyone believes they are one of the five best teams in the country.
Fox Sports' Joel Klatt is one of those analysts who still does not believe Georgia should be ranked that high as he sent UGA a disturbing message in his top five.
What would your top 5 be?

Joel Klatt fails to include Georgia in his top five
Klatt released his top five teams in college football after this past weekend's games, and Georgia was nowhere to be found even though they earned the biggest win of the week agaisnt No. 5 Ole Miss. Sure Georgia did lose to Alabama, but the Bulldogs also have a great road win at Tennessee as well. These two wins are better than what most teams have throughout the country, so it's hard to understand how Georgia isn't a consensus top five team.
Klatt has Ohio State at No. 1 which is hard to argue against. Alabama also deserves to be above Georgia as does Texas A&M because they are undefeated. Even Indiana makes sense to be included above Georgia as they are undefeated with a road win over Oregon. But speaking of the Ducks, what have they done to deserve to be ranked over Georgia?
Oregon's one loss this season is at home to Indiana, which is a pretty comparable loss to Georgia's loss to Alabama. But the Ducks do not have a win that even compares to Georgia's two big wins. Oregon's two best wins are Penn State and Northwestern, so it's clear that Georgia's wins over Tennessee and Ole Miss are infinitely better.
Thankfully Georgia still has five more games this season to prove they are one of the best teams in the country, but ranking Oregon above Georgia at this point is quite ridiculous.
