Nebraska leads all schools with six players, followed by Ohio State and Pittsburgh with five each. In all, the release notes the top 75 come from 41 different schools. The top conference is the Big Ten with 19 selections, four more than the second-place ACC.
It's easy to see why the committee chairman talked about the difficulty of the process. There are countless players, including Tony Dorsett, Randy Moss, Bruce Smith and Dick Butkus, who could easily warrant a spot on the first team. But it's a major challenge to decide who should move to make room.
Tim Tebow is one player who always demands attention. Although his NFL career has never really taken off, he was a force at Florida, helping lead the Gators to a pair of national titles and winning the 2007 Heisman Trophy. The voters decided that warranted a spot on the second team.
Bomani Jones of ESPN doesn't agree with the placement of the polarizing Gator.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...all-american-team-full-list-comments-reaction
