[CSUBUCDAD]

Not sure I buy any preseason all american list that leaves CHuck South DB Charles James completely off all three teams.

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

Not sure I buy any preseason all american list that leaves CHuck South DB Charles James completely off all three teams.

I have seen him play and while he is good this is a great CB class. there have been years where the 3rd team AAs would have been 1st team. Just a very deep class. Had he come out 2 years ago he would be 1st or 2nd team for sure.

While this is a good year to be a WR with only 2 big time producers back from last year so lots of room for newcomers to get honored. Also a good year at DE where the 3rd team guys are very talented.

Don't take it as a snub but a bad year to be in the CB class where there are 6 possible draft picks who are seniors.

Eagles versus Eagles in Frisco in January '12?

Yeah, if GSU's Laron Scott is third team, then the FCS is pretty durn stacked with corners this year.

Just to put it in perspective there are like 4 or 5 returning All-America honors and then 3 who will likely be top 125 picks in the NFL Draft. This is a VERY stacked year. James, Ellis, and Scott are all top 5 in any other year but are not locks for the top 4-6 range because CB is so stacked.

Old School Eagles vs. New School Eagles.

[grizzaholic]

Lots of Montana players in there.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Lots of Montana players in there.

Yeah, if you include Montana State. 4 MSU players, 1 UM player, and 5 EWU players.

[Pwns]

Breakdown by team...

5 - EWU, GSU
4 - Montana State, Liberty
3 - SIU, W&M, Idaho State
2 - ASU, Bethune Cookman, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, Elon, Furman, Indiana State, Lehigh, McNeese State, New Hampshire, Northern Iowa, Prairie View A&M, SE Missouri State, South Dakota, Stephen F. Austin, Weber State, Wofford
1 - Alabama State, Ark. Pine Bluff, Cal Poly, Chattanooga, Colgate, Columbia, Dartmouth, EKU, Howard, UMass, Monmouth, Montana, Murray State, North Dakota State, Northwestern State, ODU, Richmond, Robert Morris, Sacramento State, Sam Houston, San Diego, Texas State, Youngstown State

Looks like the SoCon and the Big Sky have the CAA outdone as far as AA's.

[Skjellyfetti]

Brian Quick should be 1st team.

[NG33]

4 - Liberty

As exciting as it is to see how talented Liberty is going into this season, if we don't finally make the playoffs this year it's all for nothing.

[ASUG8]

Brian Quick should be 1st team.

+1

[SuperHornet]

Not sure I buy Zach Nash on 2nd Team D vice 1st Team D, but I'm VERY impressed with TWO Liberty players on 1st Team O and one each on 2nd Team O and 2nd Team D. Though I think I'd rather see Liberty's QB as the 1st Team O QB....

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Brian Quick should be 1st team.

So should Brandon Kaufman.

[Skjellyfetti]

Hmmm. The question appears to be...

Why only 2 wide receivers on each team? NEED MOAR.

[Tribe4SF]

Not sure I buy any preseason all american list that leaves CHuck South DB Charles James completely off all three teams.

SCFBF is right...yough year to be a CB. BW Webb from W&M also not on the list.

[clawman]

Ben Boothby, No Iowa, and Brent Russell GSU must be real animals at DT to keep EWU's Renard Williams on the second team. Renard may be the most disruptive player I've seen. Greg Peach may be the only exception.

[ODUalum11]

Congrats to ODU's Jon Plisco!!!!
