AP All-American

Here is. Discuss.

QB: Tim Tebow, Florida.
RB: Darren McFadden, Arkansas; Kevin Smith, Central Florida.
WR: Jordy Nelson, Kansas State; Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech.
TE: Martin Rucker, Missouri.
C: Steve Justice, Wake Forest.
G: Duke Robinson, Oklahoma; Martin O'Donnell, Illinois.
T: Anthony Collins, Kansas; Jake Long, Michigan.
All-purpose: Jeremy Maclin, Missouri.
PK: Thomas Weber, Arizona State.

DE: Chris Long, Virginia; George Selvie, South Florida.
DT: Glenn Dorsey, LSU; Sedrick Ellis, Southern Cal.
LB: Dan Connor, Penn State; Jordan Dizon, Colorado; James Laurinaitis, Ohio State.
CB: Aqib Talib, Kansas; Antoine Cason, Arizona.
S: Craig Steltz, LSU; Jamie Silva, Boston College.
P: Kevin Huber, Cincinnati.

Big 12 has eight first-teamers. Big Ten and SEC have four each.

 

Is there no TE on the AA team?

 

Not this year apparently.

 

Ryan Clady was robbed.

 

My bad. Fixed.

 

good to see Kevin Smith finally got some kind of honor.

 

Pretty darn tough for him to bump the two tackles that are there.

 

Who says Duke stinks in football? He made first team.

Here's the second and third teams:

 

What night is Bob Hope shaking their hands?

 

Travis Beckum only third team? I'm very surprised.

 

For comparison purposes, the FWAA All-American team:

QB: Tebow.
RB: McFadden, Smith.
WR: Crabtree, Nelson.
TE: Rucker.
C: Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas.
OL: Collins; Long; Hercules Satele, Hawaii; Ryan Stanchek, West Virginia.
RS: Maclin.
PK: Daniel Lincoln, Tennessee.

DL: Dorsey; Ellis; Long; Selvie.
LB: Laurinaitis; Curtis Lofton, Oklahoma; J Leman, Illinois.
DB: Steltz; Talib; Silva; Mike Mickens, Cincinnati.
P: Louie Sakoda, Utah.

 

I totally agree Beckum on third team is low.

And Penn State's Sean Lee not making the top nine linebackers is ridiculous. Scott McKillop?? Lee was every bit as effective as Connor.
